Peru truckers strike over diesel costs, threaten fare hikes; schools shift online
La República (Peru)LO·PE·about 5 hours ago
Bolivian transport unions partially suspended a strike against Supreme Decree 5716, which removed the diesel subsidy and raised prices to Bs 17.95/liter. Santa Cruz drivers fully retreated, while the government scheduled dialogue for Tuesday in La Paz; education moved to virtual classes. The partial retreat signals easing pressure, but the subsidy removal remains contested and could reignite protests.
