Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz has declared a state of emergency in the country due to mass protests and road blockades that have paralyzed the economy for 50 days.
“Elchi” reports that Reuters has provided information on this matter.
The agency stated that the decision paves the way for the involvement of the Armed Forces to restore order in the country.
Anti-government protests have been ongoing in Bolivia for several weeks, leading to road closures in various regions. The authorities blame supporters of former President Evo Morales for the supply disruptions and unrest.
