Supporters of Evo Morales plan a march from Cochabamba to La Paz on October 13. The protest targets economic measures implemented by President Rodrigo Paz, specifically the removal of the diesel subsidy and plans to sell or close state companies like Visión 360 and Red Uno. Franco García, who leads the Coordinadora Urbana Popular, confirmed the plan, despite a state of exception banning road blockades.
