Bolivian President Cuts Salary by 50% Amid Protests Over Living Costs

26 Mayıs 2026France 24

Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz has announced a 50% salary cut for himself and his ministers in an attempt to calm ongoing protests that have paralyzed the capital. The protests are fueled by rising living costs and austerity measures that have plunged Bolivia into its worst economic crisis in four decades.
Clashes between demonstrators and police have escalated amid the unrest.
Bolivia is currently experiencing significant social unrest due to rising costs of living and government austerity measures. These protests mark a critical moment in the country's political landscape, as citizens demand accountability and solutions to the economic challenges they face.
The decision to slash salaries reflects a desperate attempt by President Paz to address public discontent and restore order. However, while this move may temporarily placate some protesters, it does not address the underlying economic issues that have led to widespread dissatisfaction.
