Thousands of Bolivians held another demonstration in La Paz on Friday to demand the resignation of center-right President Rodrigo Paz, despite his promise to respond to the grievances of labor unions and Indigenous communities.
"He should resign, damn it!" shouted the crowd of farmers, laborers, miners, transport workers and teachers who brought traffic to a halt on the streets of the Andean city.
Paz came to power six months ago, in the midst of the country's worst economic crisis since the 1980s, marked by acute shortages of fuel and foreign currency and runaway inflation.
