Protests in Bolivia's Chapare Region Intensify: Demands for President Arce's Resignation
Cochabamba, Bolivia – June 11, 2025 – Leaders in the Chapare region of Bolivia have intensified their protests, erecting roadblocks and vowing to maintain them until President Luis Arce resigns. The demonstrations stem from growing concerns over fuel shortages, a sharp increase in the cost of living, and a scarcity of US dollars, impacting the daily lives of many Bolivians.
"The decision is based on three points," explained one Chapare leader in an interview shown in a recent video report. "First, the fuel shortage; second, the rising cost of the family basket; and third, the dollar shortage." The leader emphasized the seriousness of the situation and the protesters' determination to continue their actions until their demands are met.
The video report, filmed amidst the roadblock, showed a large number of people participating in the protest, highlighting the widespread impact of the economic crisis. The protestors' determination is palpable, and their actions represent a significant challenge to the current Bolivian government.
The ongoing protests underscore the economic challenges faced by Bolivia and the growing discontent among its citizens. The situation remains tense, and further developments are expected in the coming days.
