Protester throws firecrackers at police officers during a protest march by coca leaf growers in La Paz, on August 2, 2022. Several hundred peasants, grouped in the Association of Coca Producers (Adepcoca) and opponents of the government of leftist president Luis Arce, protested in a neighbourhood in the north of the city of La Paz, demanding the closure of a parallel market for the commercialisation of coca leafs, which they accuse of being illegal and of having government support.
