Bolivia is in crisis with violence, food and fuel shortages, and protests on the streets growing over President Rodrigo Paz. [Subscribe to our Substack newsletter: https://channel4news.substack.com/subscribe] Elected after decades of left-wing rule, Paz now faces accusations of governing for elites and failing to address rising economic hardship and inequality.
