Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz has announced a 50% salary cut for himself and cabinet ministers in an attempt to end anti-government protests in La Paz, but protesters have refused to end their blockade and clashed with police again. The move is aimed at alleviating weeks of unrest, but its impact remains to be seen. Protesters continue to demand changes from the government, and the situation remains tense.
