Bolivia transport workers strike over fuel shortages and road conditions

Wednesday, 6 May 2026, 06:45 · 1 min read

Transport workers in Bolivia have launched a nationwide strike, blocking streets in El Alto (a large city adjacent to the capital La Paz) with buses, cars, and trucks to press their demands on the government. Union leaders are calling on authorities to guarantee access to clean fuel, reduce lengthy queues at petrol stations, improve road infrastructure, and compensate drivers for engine damage caused by poor-quality fuel. The action highlights growing frustration among Bolivia's transport sector over a prolonged fuel crisis that has disrupted daily operations across the country.
