Parotani, Bolivia: Tear Gas Used to Disperse Roadblock
Parotani, Bolivia, witnessed a tense standoff on June 7th, 2025, as authorities used tear gas to clear a roadblock. The blockade, part of ongoing political protests, had disrupted traffic on a major highway connecting Cochabamba with western Bolivia. A Unitel Bolivia video captured the event, providing a rare glimpse into the operation.
The video shows plumes of tear gas filling the night air, punctuated by the sounds of shouting and commotion. One eyewitness, whose voice was partially obscured by the sounds of the protest, could be heard exclaiming, "Vamos, vamos!" (Let's go, let's go!). The video later shows a burning tire, indicating further unrest.
The incident highlights the ongoing political tensions in Bolivia. While the exact reasons behind the blockade remain unclear from the video alone, it demonstrates the lengths to which authorities are going to maintain order and ensure the free flow of traffic. Further investigation is needed to fully understand the events leading up to the gasification and the overall impact of the protest.
