Bolivian producers issue 48-hour ultimatum over diesel subsidy repeal

Producers in Yapacaní have demanded the repeal of Supreme Decree 5676, which removed state diesel subsidies for large consumers, setting a 48-hour deadline for government action. The government has countered by promising the construction of a refinery, though the feasibility and timeline of this project remain unverified. This standoff highlights growing domestic tension over fuel pricing and fiscal policy in Bolivia.
