Bolivia: Workers' Central Denounces Morales-Linked Marches as 'National Sabotage'

Bolivia: COB Condemns Morales-Linked Marches as 'National Sabotage' La Paz, Bolivia – The secretary of the Bolivian Workers' Central (COB) Social Security Commission, Rodolfo Pérez, has strongly condemned recent marches organized by groups affiliated with former president Evo Morales, labeling them as "sabotage against the country." These protests, which took place on May 26th, 2025, caused significant disruptions and economic losses, according to Pérez. "These marches represent a serious detriment to the economy of Bolivians," stated Pérez in an interview with BOLIVIA TV. "It's not a fight for the people; it's a deliberate attempt to harm all Bolivians." Pérez highlighted the impact of the blockades and mobilizations on businesses and families across the country. The COB's statement reflects growing concerns about the economic and social consequences of the ongoing political unrest. The video footage shows large groups of protesters marching through the streets, carrying banners and flags. The situation underscores the deep political divisions that continue to shape Bolivia's political landscape. Efforts to find a peaceful resolution and mitigate the negative economic effects are ongoing.
