Bolivia: Tarija councils declare emergency over possible LPG, gasoline subsidy cuts

Neighborhood councils in Tarija, Bolivia, declared a state of emergency over the potential elimination of LPG and gasoline subsidies, following the earlier removal of the diesel subsidy. The move signals growing local opposition to fiscal austerity measures ahead of the 2027 budget debate, with leaders demanding consultation. The outcome is uncertain as the budget has not yet been approved.
