Summary
Bolivia declares state of emergency to clear protest blockades NewsFeed Bolivia’s president announces a state of emergency after weeks of nationwide protests and road blockades crippled the country’s economy. Protesters are demanding fuel subsidies be reinstated and increased funding for education. Paz has been in power for seven months, after nearly two decades of governments under the leftist Movement Toward Socialism, headed by Morales, who governed Bolivia from 2006 to 2019.
Furthermore, Congress then has up to 72 hours to approve or reject it. At another roadblock down the road, a group of truck drivers who had been sleeping in line since June 19 chanted, "We want gasoline!" as it was cleared. At least two dozen vehicles and trucks, multiple motorcycles and several tractors left police headquarters in El Alto on June 20 en route toward a main highway that has routinely been blockaded by protesting groups.
In addition, Senator Jose Manuel Ormachea, also from Alianza Libre, said his party would back the measure at a congressional vote expected on Saturday evening. EMERGENCY POWERS Congress cleared a path for the declaration in May when it repealed a law that had set limits on the executive branch's use of emergency orders.
