Bolivian Drivers to Strike Over Fuel Shortages

Bolivian Drivers Plan Nationwide Strike Amid Fuel Shortages La Paz, Bolivia – Bolivian drivers are preparing for a nationwide 24-hour strike on Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025, to protest severe fuel shortages and the extremely long wait times at gas stations. The strike has been confirmed by the country's main drivers' union. The union leader stated, "We have endured this situation for far too long. The government's inaction has forced us to take this drastic measure." Video footage shows miles-long lines of trucks and other vehicles waiting for fuel, causing significant traffic disruptions across the country. The strike is expected to severely impact transportation and the delivery of goods. The government has yet to respond to the union's demands for immediate action to address the fuel crisis. The situation highlights the growing frustration and economic hardship faced by Bolivian drivers and the wider population.
