Get you up to speed: Bolivian authorities say no active blockades after state of emergency decree
Bolivian authorities report no active road blockades following President Rodrigo Paz’s declaration of a state of emergency in response to five weeks of anti-government protests. The decree permits military support for police to restore order, with indications of calm in various regions, including Santa Cruz and La Paz.
Authorities reported that while there are no active road blockades, many roads still require extensive clean-up and repair following the previous protests. The situation remains sensitive, as rights observers caution that a stringent government response could exacerbate long-term unrest.
Bolivian authorities have reported no active road blockades following President Rodrigo Paz’s state of emergency declaration, which allows military support for police in restoring order. Despite signs of de-escalation, rights observers caution that inadequate government responses to the underlying causes of unrest could further fuel dissatisfaction among the public.
What remains unclear — It is uncertain how long the military and police deployment will remain in place to ensure order.

State of emergency permits deployment of military to support police amid five weeks of anti-government protests.

Authorities in Bolivia report no active road blockades in the country, the day after President Rodrigo Paz declared a state of emergency in response to weeks of protests.
Early on Sunday, the South American country’s Legislative Assembly approved Paz’s decree, which prohibited “blocking streets, avenues, roads and highways in ways that affect transportation and supplies”.
The order also permitted Bolivia’s armed forces to support police “in restoring order, reopening roads and protecting the population”.
The signs of calm on Sunday coincided with several other breakthroughs with protesters, who launched demonstrations calling for Paz’s resignation after he imposed austerity measures that included cutting fuel subsidies earlier this year.
In Santa Cruz, officials and protest leaders signed an agreement to lift a critical blockade in the town of San Julian.
A federation of groups representing rural and Indigenous residents announced a pause in protests in La Paz, while maintaining they had not abandoned their demands.
Five weeks of road blockades have stranded trucks and choked supplies of food, fuel and medicines to many areas.
Bolivia’s ombudsman’s office and human rights organisations have said that at least 17 people have died, many linked with disruptions to medical care caused by the blockades.
Violent confrontations between demonstrators and riot police have led to 365 arrests and 37 injuries, according to authorities.
While Bolivia’s national highway authority reported no active protest blockades on Sunday, it warned that many roads still required significant clean-up and repair.
Despite the early signs of progress, rights observers have warned that a harsh government response that fails to address the underlying issues could compound unrest in the long term.
Police and military forces remained deployed on Sunday.
