Bolivia Miners Clash with Police, President Paz Under Fire The streets of La Paz have become a battleground as Bolivian miners clash with police in a wave of protests that threatens to engulf the government of President Rodrigo Paz.
Just six months into office, Paz faces intense pressure from various sectors, including miners, farmers, and school teachers, who demand reforms, higher wages, and an end to Bolivia's economic crisis.
The country's economic woes are well documented: a shortage of US dollars has led to a decline in energy production, exacerbating the worst economic crisis in a generation.
