[Bolivia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Informal miners and families of five victims killed in a 3 April explosion in Sorata municipality gathered outside prosecutor and mining federation offices in La Paz on 7 April, demanding justice and return of bodies for burial. The peaceful protest reflects ongoing tensions within Bolivia's mining sector following the deadly incident.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether broader mining sector unrest emerges from the underlying dispute between mining groups.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of tensions between competing mining groups in the Sorata area that could disrupt local mining operations
• Watch for broader mobilization of informal mining cooperatives if authorities fail to address grievances over the initial explosion incident
