[Bolivia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Transport drivers in Bolivia's La Paz department have maintained road blockades near Unduavi for a second consecutive day as of April 8, 2025, disrupting access to the Yungas region. Protesters are demanding infrastructure maintenance, fuel and dollar supply improvements, and leadership changes at the national oil and gas company.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether blockades spread to major commercial corridors connecting Bolivia's mining regions or international borders.

Watch points

• Monitor whether blockades expand beyond local Yungas access routes to affect major commercial highways connecting La Paz to other departments
• Track government response and potential for negotiated resolution given protesters' specific demands around fuel supply and infrastructure investment
