Bolivia's Political Crisis Deepens as Morales Supporters Block Roads

Supporters of former President Evo Morales are blocking roads across Bolivia to protest his criminal investigation and alleged assassination attempt.

Protests have led to significant economic disruption, with losses exceeding $1.35 billion, affecting food and fuel supplies.
The roadblocks are primarily located in Cochabamba, a stronghold of Morales, who faces allegations of rape and human trafficking.
Morales claims an assassination attempt was made against him, but the government disputes this, suggesting his vehicle first fired on police.
Clashes between protesters and police have resulted in numerous injuries, including serious harm to law enforcement officers.
The protests have evolved into a broader anti-government movement, with calls for President Luis Arce to resign and new elections to be held.
