Fuel Shortages Spark Highway Blockade in Bolivia La Paz, Bolivia – Transportation workers blocked the La Paz-Copacabana highway on May 22, 2025, in protest over severe fuel shortages. Drivers waited for hours at a gas station, with some forced to remain overnight. The protest highlights the critical impact of fuel scarcity on the region's transportation system. "We've been waiting for hours," explained one driver, interviewed at the scene. "They only bring one tanker of gasoline a day, and it's not enough." The driver expressed frustration and concern about the situation's impact on their livelihoods and the community. The protest underscores the urgent need for increased fuel supplies to the region. The government has yet to issue a statement addressing the situation. The highway blockage caused significant disruptions to traffic and raised concerns about the potential for further protests if the fuel shortage persists.
