Roadblock Removed in Sapecho, Bolivia, as Producers and Police Reopen Interoceanic Route. Sapecho, Bolivia – June 7, 2025. A significant roadblock in the Sapecho area of Palos Blancos municipality was cleared today, restoring traffic along a crucial interoceanic route. Local producers, expressing frustration with the disruption, worked with police to remove the obstacles. "We participated in a meeting yesterday," stated one producer, "and decided unanimously that this blockade is harming us." He further explained that the blockade was orchestrated by a small group of individuals associated with former President Evo Morales, acting primarily for personal gain.
