LA PAZ, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- Bolivian supporters of resigning president Evo Morales have removed roadblocks, with 95 percent of highways resuming normal traffic, an interim government source said on Tuesday.
According to Wilson Santamaria, interim deputy minister of citizen security, the majority of roadblocks were removed after the transitional government reached an agreement on Monday with sympathizers of Morales' Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) party and allied social groups.
Morales, a former coca grower and activist who rose to hold the nation's highest office for more than a decade, resigned earlier this month following weeks of opposition protests against his re-election to a fourth term.
Pockets of protest continue among Morales' most staunch supporters, Bolivian coca growers in the central department of Cochabamba, said Santamaria.
"There are two small centers of conflict, basically along the Cochabamba-Oruro Highway ... We hope to resolve it through dialogue," he said.
The first major agreement between Bolivia's left and right camps came over the weekend when Jeanine Anez, leader of the interim government supported by the opposition, enacted a law that paves the way for elections to take place in the next four months.
