[Bolivia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 2, 2025, inter-departmental public transport drivers conducted road blockades near Caranavi in Bolivia's La Paz department, targeting routes to the Yungas region including the Coroico bridge and access roads to multiple municipalities. The protesters demanded road maintenance, fuel and dollar supply, and the resignation of the deputy minister of defense.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether similar transport disruptions spread to other regions with mapped supply chain infrastructure.

Watch points

• Monitor whether road blockades expand beyond the Yungas region to affect major trade corridors connecting Bolivia's mining areas or border crossings
• Track resolution of fuel supply demands, as transport sector grievances could signal broader logistical constraints affecting commodity movements
