The former president’s allies have been erecting roadblocks in protest against the government
Bolivian ex-president Evo Morales has declared a hunger strike as the standoff between his supporters and the government escalated on Friday.
Groups allied with Morales have been blocking several regional roads for 19 days straight, while rallying against President Luis Arce’s economic policies and accusing the government of unfairly prosecuting the country’s former leader.
