## Morales Supporters Confirm March
Supporters of former president Evo Morales confirmed a march on La Paz starting Tuesday 13 October despite a state of exception banning road blockades.

> We will see each other in the streets
## State of Exception Details
The state of exception, extended for 90 days in September, restricts road blockades and allows armed forces to support police in keeping roads open.
## President Paz's Stance
President Rodrigo Paz called those who call for blockades 'traitors' and warned they starve hospitals of oxygen and push up food prices.

> Those are not compatriots, those are traitors
## Police Deployment
Police deployed at four points on Cochabamba’s highways including Parotani, Suticollo, the Vacas junction and the Huayllani bridge.
## Protest Targets
The protest targets President Paz’s economic measures including removing the diesel subsidy and closing loss-making state companies.
## Peasant Union Leader's Statement
Peasant union leader Jerson Murillo ruled out talks and said they would march from the 13th to remove the government.

> We are marching from the 13th. We are not going to greet or talk with the government. I already warned, we are going to remove it
## Possible Starting Points
Organisers named Caracollo, Patacamaya and La Huachaca as possible starting points on the Altiplano highway to La Paz.
## COB Union Meeting
The Central Obrera Boliviana (COB) union federation will meet on Thursday 15 October to analyze the current situation.
## Travel Impact
Travellers and shippers on routes linking La Paz, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz should expect checkpoints and possible delays from Tuesday.
## What's Unknown
It is not known how many people will join, where the march starts, or whether unions will add their own protests.
## Key takeaway

Bolivia's Morales backers plan a La Paz march on 13 October to protest President Paz's economic policies despite a state of exception banning road blockades.
