What happened

Well supportedReported by 20 independent outlets

Protests in Bolivia caused severe shortages of food, fuel, and medicine, and besieged the capital, La Paz. The crisis intensified after President Rodrigo Paz declared a state of emergency following protests that halted the economy for over 50 days. These protests were sparked by cuts to long-standing fuel subsidies, which were implemented amid a worsening dollar crunch and talks with the International Monetary Fund.
