Last update: 5 hours agoBolivia Protests & Emergency Powers: President Rodrigo Paz has moved to ease the legal path to declaring a state of emergency, revoking a prior law that limited how and when emergency measures could be used, as roadblocks and violent demonstrations over austerity and fuel shortages keep choking La Paz and El Alto. Military on the Streets: In a separate push, Congress approved changes that restore the executive’s authority to deploy the Armed Forces in internal unrest, repealing earlier constraints that required tighter conditions and legislative review. Humanitarian Pressure: Brazil says it will send an Air Force plane to transport food to La Paz to help blunt shortages caused by weeks of blockades. Diplomatic & Safety Fallout: The U.S. Embassy in Bolivia temporarily suspended routine consular services due to demonstrations and road blockades.
