Amid a power struggle between President Luis Arce and former leader Evo Morales, more than a dozen people were injured in Bolivia as anti-government demonstrators clashed with counterprotesters. Morales urged his supporters on a “March to save Bolivia” from Caracollo to La Paz, which turned chaotic as government backers armed with tear gas bombs confronted the march near Panduro.
The ongoing feud between Morales and Arce escalated with protesters blaming Arce for economic woes and a fuel shortage while accusing Morales of plotting a coup. Despite a court ruling disqualifying Morales from running, he intends to run for president in 2025. The clashes underline the political tension in Bolivia as both sides stand firm in their positions.
