Página Siete was a daily newspaper published in La Paz, Bolivia.[1] It was founded on 24 April 2010.[2] Página Siete focused on politics and economics, but it also had social and culture sections.[citation needed] The government of Evo Morales made several complaints against Página Siete, leading to accusations of censorship of the press.[3]

In 2013, the then director, Raúl Peñaranda, resigned, citing the continuing attacks from the government, stating "The Government is resuming a cowardly attack on Página Siete, a low attack, a vile attack on us because we are an independent newspaper".[4]

After years of financial constraints, Página Siete published its final edition on 29 June 2023.[5]
