Sumario:This article analyzes the limits of the right to protest, particularly road blockades, within the framework of international law and the Bolivian legal system. It establishes that protest is a fundamental right derived from the freedoms of assembly and expression, and that, by its nature, it is not absolute. The study highlights that road blockades disproportionately affect the rights of others, impacting free movement, health, and the national economy. It concludes that there is no autonomous right to blockades within the legal system, identifying its political instrumentalization as a de facto action. Finally, a set of regulatory criteria is proposed to guarantee a balance between the exercise of dissent and the rule of law.
