Shortages affect La Paz after coup in Bolivia
15 de noviembre de 2019, 13:43La Paz, Nov 15 (Prensa Latina) The effects of the social upheaval of recent days in Bolivia are already beginning to be felt in this city, with shortages of foodstuffs, gas and skyrocketing prices of basic goods.
Long queues to buy a bread - in the establishments open - can be seen in some parts of La Paz, while the price of other products such as eggs, for example, increased by up to 30%.
The newly-appointed Minister for Hydrocarbons of the coup government, Victor Hugo Zamora, said on Friday that there was a need to 'restore the supply of fuel to the city,' which has been paralyzed by protests demanding the resignation of self-proclaimed interim president Jeanine Añez.
Demonstrators are also demanding respect for the symbols of indigenous peoples, after the Wiphala flags was taken down from the Bolivian Palace of Government following the coup that forced President Evo Morales' resignation, and burned.
