Bolivian leader announces emergency

Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz has declared a state of emergency amid ongoing protests demanding his resignation, which have caused shortages and disrupted daily life.

The government aims to restore normalcy by clearing roadblocks, with Congress needing to approve the measure within 72 hours. Despite efforts, the unrest continues with some groups refusing to lift blockades.
