Protesters Clash With Police in La Paz Over Fuel Subsidy Cuts

The streets of La Paz, Bolivia's capital city, erupted into chaos yesterday as protesters clashed with police over President Rodrigo Paz's decree to end 20-year fuel subsidies. Demonstrators, many wearing red helmets, were demanding the revocation of the subsidy cuts, which have led to sharp price increases and are causing widespread hardship.
