Bolivia on the Brink: Nationwide Protests and Roadblocks Announced

Evistas in Bolivia Announce Nationwide Roadblocks and Protests La Paz, Bolivia – Evistas, supporters of former Bolivian President Evo Morales, have announced plans for nationwide roadblocks and mass protests beginning this Monday. The demonstrations stem from the recent arrests of several Evista activists in La Paz during earlier protests. The Federation of the Tropics, a key Evista organization, has confirmed the planned actions, indicating a significant escalation of their campaign. "From this Monday, a massive mobilization will begin in different departments," stated Mario Rivera Flores, spokesperson for the Federation of the Tropics, in an interview featured in the video. "We will return to La Paz with the objective of seeking the resignation of President Luis Arce." The video shows images of roadblocks already in place, crowds of protesters, and footage of confrontations in La Paz. The protesters' demands extend beyond the release of their detained comrades; they also aim to exert pressure on the government to address their broader political grievances. While the protests are expected to be widespread, the government has yet to issue an official response to the escalating situation. The coming days will be crucial in determining the scale and impact of these nationwide demonstrations.
