Bolivian officials announced Friday that law enforcement and military personnel will establish humanitarian corridors Saturday in the La Paz region to allow essential goods to bypass protest blockades that have disrupted supply chains.
The demonstrations have escalated over recent weeks as various groups including labor unions, mining workers, transportation employees, and rural communities demand that President Rodrigo Paz reverse austerity policies and tackle increasing costs of living. Several groups have demanded the president step down, signaling growing opposition to the current administration.
