Bolivia’s capital under siege as protests and blockades deepen crisis for president
Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz announced a 50% salary reduction in an attempt to quell ongoing anti-government protests. The demonstrations, led by trade unions, peasant unions, and miners, are demanding wage increases, stable fuel supplies, and better economic management.
