Rodrigo Paz took the presidential oath in Bolivia on Saturday, November 8, stepping into a role overshadowed by the country's worst economic crisis in decades. With fuel shortages, inflation hitting record highs, and political tensions simmering, Paz’s leadership skills are set for an immediate trial by fire. 🔥
Analysts describe the situation as a "perfect storm," with residents of Bolivia grappling with daily challenges like long queues at gas stations and skyrocketing prices for basic goods. CGTN’s Monica Machicao highlighted the urgency in her report, noting that public patience is wearing thin. 🛒💸
Paz, a former economist, has pledged to prioritize stabilizing the economy and restoring public trust. But with global supply chain issues and internal political divisions adding pressure, the road ahead looks rocky. Can his policies turn the tide? 🌍📉
