The “shield-bearers” have to be aligned with the government to avoid being arrested. The police allowed civilians to carry homemade shields to “protect” the Casa Grande del Pueblo, but two years ago, young people with similar shields were detained.

In full view of the police, like another civil guard, young people aligned with the government of Luis Arce were able to operate without any issues around Plaza Murillo. Moreover, they positioned themselves with blue and red painted shields at the ready.

Meanwhile, the police officers simply observed them without prohibiting or stopping them, as if they were providing “civil security.” These security lines were set up in anticipation of a potential attempt by the march organized by the opposition to reach the political center in La Paz.

In addition, many of these young people wore helmets or caps, balaclavas or masks, goggles, and gloves, occupying the street from side to side. The police, in turn, retreated towards the walls.

While this time, the group of men “armed” themselves with these shields to “protect” the Casa Grande del Pueblo and Luis Arce’s government, two years ago, officers arrested young people participating in a doctors’ march against the government for carrying similar shields.

The issue of carrying shields during demonstrations even drew criticism from President Luis Arce himself. “The other day, on Thursday, we saw, unfortunately, the return of the shields,” he said in a statement on July 23, 2022.

At that time, the Ministry of Government allegedly claimed they found dynamite, but the families of the young people denied this, stating that some only had firecrackers, which are commonly used in protests.

After the clashes in Ventilla on Sunday, the Arce government mobilized its allied organizations and public employees in Plaza Murillo for a vigil. ANF learned that several ministries instructed their personnel to move to Kilometer 0.
