In Bolivia, the Federation of Neighborhood Councils (FEJUVE) of La Paz, Social Control, and a faction of the city’s trade unions marched on Monday against the 40 percent increase in the price of bread. Jorge Paredes, president of one of the FEJUVEs in La Paz, stated that the march goes beyond the rise in bread, electricity, and water costs, as thousands of families are struggling between poverty and misery. The government of Rodrigo Paz removed the flour subsidy that had benefited producers belonging to the National Confederation of Bakers of Bolivia. Meanwhile, neighborhood associations and other social sectors in La Paz and El Alto reported that their electricity and water bills have increased by up to 150 percent in recent months.
