Bolivia.- <\/strong>Supporters of former Bolivian President, Evo Morales<\/strong>, are holding massive protests due to the economic crisis affecting the country and to force his candidacy for the presidential elections<\/strong> called for August 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Tuesday at least ten roadblocks were registered on Bolivian roads,<\/strong> while Morales’ supporters announced the massification of these pickets. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minister of Government (Security), Roberto R\u00edos, indicated that the underlying reason for the protest is to stop the holding of elections<\/strong> and held the coca grower leader responsible for what he considers a \u201cboycott\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, the Minister of Public Works, \u00c9dgar Monta\u00f1o, stated that former President Evo Morales can only return to power through a coup d’\u00e9tat and that the mobilizations promoted by his followers only seek to ‘convulse’ the country.<\/p>\n\n\nMonta\u00f1o warned that the installation of blockades will generate economic damages<\/strong> to different sectors and that, in addition, will lead to an increase in prices of several products, including those of the basic food basket.\n\n\n
