● Since Monday, October 14, multiple roadblocks have been set up indefinitely on major highways in Cochabamba Department, with local police intervening to forcibly lift these blockades.
● As a result, there has been a temporary deterioration in security and disruptions near the roadblock locations, as well as an impact on logistics passing through Cochabamba Department, particularly affecting gasoline supply.
According to local reports, since Monday, October 14, multiple roadblocks have been established on major highways in Cochabamba Department by supporters of former President Evo Morales. These roadblocks aim to push for the acceptance of Evo Morales as a candidate for the 2025 Bolivian presidential election. The police have been using tear gas and other measures to forcibly lift the blockades, leading to temporary security issues and confusion.
This has affected logistics passing through Cochabamba Department, leading to gasoline shortages (including diesel) in both Cochabamba and surrounding departments, which could potentially impact economic activities and daily life.
We advise you to continue gathering information, avoid approaching the roadblock areas unnecessarily, and take measures such as stockpiling essential supplies.
