Bolivia’s Emergency Amid Protests

Bolivia’s president declares a 90-day state of emergency as military forces are deployed to crush five-week protests that have paralyzed fuel and food supplies, leaving cities isolated and hospitals without patients. Sparked by austerity measures like the end of fuel subsidies, the unrest has killed at least 17, with many deaths linked to lack of medical care. The president insists the move is to restore freedoms, not restrict them, while Indigenous and rural groups, once loyal to the old regime, now lead the demonstrations. Former President Evo Morales backs the protesters, while the U.S. supports Paz and offers emergency aid to tackle the crisis. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
