[Bolivia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On 30 March 2025, hundreds of supporters of presidential candidate Jorge Quiroga conducted a peaceful demonstration in La Paz, Bolivia, calling for political change ahead of upcoming elections. The low-severity protest involved marching through main city streets and concluded with a campaign speech.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given Bolivia's role as a major lithium producer and the peaceful nature of this demonstration, immediate supply chain disruptions appear unlikely unless political tensions intensify significantly during the electoral period.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of political demonstrations or counter-protests that could disrupt transportation networks in La Paz
• Track electoral timeline and potential for broader civil unrest if disputed results emerge
