Bolivia: Activists plan to march from Caracollo to La Paz from Sept. 17-23

Former president and leader of the Movement for Socialism (MAS), Evo Morales, has called for a march from Caracollo to La Paz between Sept. 17 and 23. The march will end at the government headquarters in La Paz. The action has been called over various political and economic demands, including a call by current President Luis Arce for a referendum on term limits and fuel prices. The march is likely to attract several hundred people at least.

Participants are likely to march along portions of the La Paz-Oruro Highway during the action. As the march progresses, rallies at towns located between Caracollo and La Paz are likely. Security forces are likely to monitor and track the events. Clashes between police and protesters are possible. The action is likely to result in disruptions to road travel along the intended route. The gathering in La Paz on Sept. 23 is likely to attract a large crowd and additional disruptions to public transport are likely near the government headquarters.
