Supporters of former Bolivian President Evo Morales have initiated widespread roadblocks, leading to fuel shortages and rising prices across the country. Initially aimed at preventing Morales's arrest amid an investigation for alleged child abuse, the protests now target President Luis Arce's economic policies. The transport sector has incurred over $8.6 million in losses, with essential goods, like pork, seeing significant price hikes. Morales remains a key opposition figure ahead of the 2025 elections.
