Bolivia faces escalating violence as clashes between police and supporters of former president Evo Morales deepen the political crisis, leading to the deaths of six people, including four officers. Protests erupted in response to court rulings barring Morales from a fourth term in the upcoming election. Despite a declared humanitarian pause in blockades, disruptions continue, hampering the supply of food and medicine. Current President Luis Arce announces a terrorism investigation against Morales, intensifying tensions. The unrest foreshadows potential threats to democracy in Bolivia, with both leaders and citizens facing grave risks amid the turmoil.
Democracy in our country is at risk, said President Arce following the killing of the four police officers. The surge in violence is alarming.
Demonstrators have blockaded roads across the country since 2 June in response to rulings by the constitutional and electoral courts that barred Morales from seeking a fourth term.
