The government of Rodrigo Paz backtracked on the neoliberal Supreme Decree 5503 after reaching an agreement with the Central Workers Union, putting an end to weeks of protests and road blockades. The deal includes repealing the most controversial articles of the decree, which eliminated fuel subsidies and sparked widespread discontent. Authorities announced the immediate approval of a new law that maintains the core economic measures but avoids a legal vacuum, while union representatives celebrated the repeal as a victory of the organized labor movement.
