Bolivian miners are calling for President Rodrigo Paz to resign, just six months after he was sworn into office. The Andean nation is going through its worst economic crisis in a generation.
Bolivian miners clashed with the police during a march on Thursday to call for the resignation of President Rodrigo Paz, with some setting off dynamite.
Blasting small charges of dynamite has become increasingly common in the second week of the nationwide unrest.
Thousands of Bolivian miners marched through downtown La Paz to demand labor reforms, fuel, and greater access to explosives, among other things.
But as the hours passed, they began chanting slogans calling for the president's resignation. Police responded to violent protestors by discharging tear gas.
