<p>The United States and allies on Friday condemned the ongoing efforts to overthrow the elected government of President Rodrigo Paz in Bolivia.</p>
<p>The Shield of the Americas member states said “mob rule” cannot replace the decision that most Bolivians made at the ballot box to remove “two decades of corrupt governments.”</p>
<p>The U.S., Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guyana, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago signed the joint statement.</p>
<p>They affirm support for the Paz administration as it resists “attempts to drag Bolivia backwards through cynical efforts to prevent the delivery of food, medicine and other vital supplies.”</p>
<p>“Those who are funding these protests with dirty money from drug trafficking and transnational crime should be held accountable,” the allies urged.</p>
<p>The governments encouraged people who have grievances to dialogue with the government, warning against abusing their causes to “regain power.”</p>
<p>President Paz admitted Bolivia has been pushed to a “breaking point” amid weeks of widespread protests and a blockade that has paralyzed major cities.</p>
<p>Farmers, miners, transport workers and teachers are demanding immediate measures to ease the country’s worst economic crisis in four decades.</p>
<p>Defence Minister Marcelo Salinas and Education Minister Beatriz Garcia resigned this week as demonstrators continue to demand Paz’s resignation, a call he rejects.</p>
<p>The government accuses ex-President Evo Morales of fuelling unrest, which opposition figures believe could end with a referendum to decide whether Paz should remain in office.<br></p>
