Bolivia's President Declares State of Emergency to Clear Roadblocks

Bolivia's President Luis Arce has declared a state of emergency to clear ongoing road blockades by demonstrators. The protests, which began in late April, have caused severe shortages and paralyzed parts of the nation. The move aims to restore normalcy and free up roads, but Congress must approve it within 72 hours. Protesters are demanding reinstatement of fuel subsidies and a rollback of austerity measures.
