Bolivia policemen killed in clashes with Morales backers
- In June 2025, violent confrontations in Llallagua, Bolivia, between security forces and demonstrators aligned with ex-President Evo Morales led to the deaths of four emergency personnel, including three police officers and one firefighter.
- The clashes followed Morales being barred by Bolivia's Constitutional Court from running in the August 17 presidential election, prompting his supporters to block roads and escalate protests amid economic hardships.
- Protests, most active in rural areas such as Morales' stronghold Cochabamba, have significantly disrupted transportation and local business, with authorities reporting 19 roadblocks across the country.
- Justice Minister Cesar Siles asserted that the demonstrations can no longer be considered peaceful civilian protests, characterizing the participants as armed paramilitary groups that necessitate a strong and decisive response.
- The incidents have intensified political tensions as Morales vows to continue seeking office despite legal barriers, while the government pursues those responsible for the violence and aims to restore public order.
