La Paz. Choferes del transporte público se enfrentaron el martes con palos y piedras con manifestantes en un intento por romper los cortes callejeros que impiden el tráfico, en la segunda semana de protestas en Bolivia contra el presidente Evo Morales, a quien la oposición acusa de fraude en las elecciones presidenciales.

“Nosotros vivimos de la renta del día, si no trabajamos, no comemos”, dijo un chofer en medio de empujones y amagues de golpes con vecinos que mantenían cortada una avenida del centro de La Paz.
