[Bolivia] Protests: 평화로운 시위

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On 8 April 2025, inter-departmental public transport drivers resumed blockades near Caranavi in Bolivia's La Paz department, targeting routes toward the Yungas region. The protesters demanded road maintenance, fuel supplies, and access to US dollars after failed negotiations with national 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, the blockades could disrupt local transportation networks connecting highland and lowland regions of Bolivia, though the current low severity assessment suggests limited broader economic impact.

Watch points

• Monitor whether blockades expand beyond the Yungas region access routes or gain support from other transport unions
• Track any escalation in protest tactics or government response that could affect broader transportation infrastructure in La Paz department
