- Bolivian president declares state of emergency after weeks of protests demanding his resignation
Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz declared a state of emergency after weeks of protests demanding his resignation, citing exhausted dialogue efforts.

Paz ordered police and military to restore road access and security.
