This state of emergency, declared on June 21 by Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz, empowers the military and police to remove blockades that have severely affected food and fuel supplies. In an address to the nation, President Paz described the antigovernment blockades as an orchestrated attempt to destabilize democracy rather than a simple social protest.
