FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Doctors and health workers in Bolivia’s hospitals, clinics and health centers took to the streets of the capital on Wednesday to voice their opposition against the Bolivian government’s plan to increase their working time by two hours.
However, riot police attacked protesters and used tear gas and rubber bullets to drive the demonstrators back.
The protests came after the Bolivian government decided to nullify a four-decade-old law, which set the doctors’ workday at six hours, and a threat by President Evo Morales to replace the Bolivian doctors with Cuban physicians.
Protesters called for the resignation of the country’s health minister who brought in the new law.
The anger over working hours has also spread to other cities, as public workers, teachers and health service providers held similar demonstrations across the country, including Cocha-bamba.
Protesters also staged a demonstration outside the Ministry of Health last week, with medical students tying themselves to trees and posts outside the ministry.
