- Bolivia's Parliament approved a nationwide State of Emergency declared by President Rodrigo Paz to end a 50-day protest and highway blockade crisis.
- The protests disrupted the supply of food, fuel, and medicines after major highways across the country were blocked.
- The unrest began after the government reduced long-standing fuel subsidies to control the fiscal deficit amid a foreign currency (US dollar) shortage.
- After the emergency declaration, several protest groups agreed to remove road blockades, and the national highway authority reported no active protest-related blockades.
- The government continues to deploy police and military forces to restore normalcy, while discussions continue to address the protesters' demands.
