ECR EUROLAT MEPs express deep concern over the violent demonstrations and road blockades that have paralysed Bolivia for over 20 days.

ECR MEPs of the Euro-Latin American Parliamentary Assembly (EUROLAT) participating in the EUROLAT assembly in Mexico City express deep concern over the violent demonstrations and road blockades that have paralysed Bolivia for over 20 days. These protests are widely supported by former president Evo Morales and aim to subvert the constitutional order and overthrow the government. President Rodrigo Paz was democratically elected in free and fair elections, recognised by all international bodies including the European Union. While the protests are reaching increasingly alarming levels of violence and causing casualties among innocent people, the Bolivian government is working to restore public order. The ECR Group firmly supports President Paz and his government, and calls for protests to be conducted peacefully and in accordance with democratic principles.
