Bolivia is experiencing a prolonged social conflict, now in its 43rd day, with dialogue between President Rodrigo Paz's government and social movements at a standstill. Protesters, including workers, peasants, truck drivers, and teachers, have established nearly one hundred roadblocks across the country. They are demanding the resignation of President Paz, who was elected in October 2025, citing his perceived failure to address a severe economic crisis. The government is reportedly considering the use of force as the situation remains unresolved.
