Description

Police officers were using tear gas to disperse protesters in Parotani on Saturday, who blocked roads for 12 days demanding the government to drop criminal charges against former Bolivian President Evo Morales and support his 2025 presidential bid.

Footage shows riot police forces shooting tear gas charges at protesters gathering at hill slope while heavy machines removed rocks and piles of debris from the roads.

According to media reports, demonstrators were calling for Luis Arce's government to drop the human trafficking and statutory rape case against Morales, arguing that it's a political effort to prevent him from running as a candidate for the 2025 presidency.

This comes while the ruling Movement to Socialism (Movimiento al Socialismo, MAS) political party is reportedly struggling with a divide, while the 'Renovation Bloc' fraction which supports Luis Arce, and the 'Radicals' who seek the presidency for Evo Morales.
