There are 27 blockade points in the country at the start of this Tuesday. The number is slightly higher than the protests recorded the day before, when 25 were counted.

The blockades, driven by supporters of Evo Morales demanding that he be allowed to run as a candidate, persist in Beni, Oruro, Potosí, Santa Cruz, and Cochabamba. The latter department continues to be the most affected, as it is completely cut off from the rest of the country.

In Santa Cruz, the blockades are on the route to Beni and in the Chiquitanía region. However, due to the protests in Cochabamba, there are no exits to the western part of the country.

Cochabamba is the department with blockades on all its roads, so there are no exits either to the east or the west of the country. These protests persist despite the fact that residents in the Valle Alto area cleared the roads yesterday from Tarata to the Carmelitas area.

In Oruro, there is only one blockade, located in the Challapata area.

Meanwhile, in Potosí, there are seven blockade points.
