Bolivian leader's move to slash own salary fails to appease protesters in La Paz
Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz said Monday he would slash his salary and those of cabinet ministers by 50 percent in an attempt to end weeks of anti-government protests.
But the announcement by the centre-right leader fell on deaf ears, with protesters refusing to end their blockade of La Paz and clashing again with police.
