"A council convened by the Multisectoral Committee and Alliances was held on Tuesday in La Paz, where they expressed their rejection of road blockades 40 days into them, and urged the government to take action. Recorded images show the discontented gathered in Plaza San Francisco holding Bolivian flags, while leaders give speeches demanding actions from the government, including the implementation of a state of emergency. "To the president, I say: Rodrigo, you have the people's approval. Declare a state of emergency, damn it," said Ayrton Condorhuayra, president of the National Multisectoral Committee of Bolivia, who added that one of the demands made to the government is the resignation of Vice President Edman Lara. Likewise, attendees demanded the immediate arrest of Evo Morales, whom they accused of being behind the mobilizations and blockades affecting transit and supply in several regions of the country. Citizens protested against the road blockades, attributing to them the lack of supplies and food. "As a citizen of La Paz, we are also not willing to continue with these critical days. The state of emergency law must be decreed once and for all. We cannot continue with this lack of food, health supplies, oxygen," mentioned citizen Eva Oporto. "Mothers, we have no bread, no milk. I speak for all the people who have nothing to eat, for the sick children who are dying. How much longer will we have to endure, Mr. Paz? How far will your indifference go? Please, to all the authorities, step up," said another citizen. On Monday, the president of Bolivia, Rodrigo Paz, enacted a law regulating states of emergency in the country and assured that he will continue governing until 2030. For his part, the Minister of Government, Marco Antonio Oviedo, stated that the president and the Cabinet have not yet set a date for a possible declaration of a state of emergency."
