Bolivia diesel subsidy removal sparks 100% fare hikes, ombudsman warns
El DeberLO·BO·about 13 hours ago

The move signals potential social unrest and inflationary pressure, as transport costs may rise. The government's decision marks a significant policy shift, but the immediate impact on fares remains uncertain.
