[Bolivia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 7, 2025, inter-departmental public transport drivers resumed blockades near Unduavi in La Paz province, Bolivia, targeting routes toward the Yungas region. Protesters demanded road maintenance, fuel and dollar supply, and resignation of the national oil and gas company head following failed negotiations with authorities.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. If confirmed and sustained, transport blockades in this region could disrupt local agricultural flows from the Yungas area, though broader supply chain implications remain unclear without additional commodity mapping data.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of blockades beyond the Unduavi area or spread to other inter-departmental transport routes
• Track government response and potential new negotiations given protesters' focus on fuel supply and currency access issues
