Bolivia’s defence and education ministers resigned on Tuesday after weeks of protests demanding President Rodrigo Paz step down, authorities said. The departures are the latest escalation in a deepening political crisis that has paralysed major cities and threatened Paz’s government. Workers, farmers, miners, transport workers and teachers are demanding measures to ease the country’s worst economic crisis in four decades.

Kaunas said a fresh rotation of American military personnel to the Baltic country remained “under review” by Washington,…

The European Commission is set to allow limited energy-related spending from fiscal rules to give EU countries more leeway to address soaring prices. The measures announced by the EU executive on Wednesday are an attempt to reassure fiscally conservative capitals struggling with skyrocketing energy bills that are threatening industrial production. In particular, the relaxation is an indirect response to Italy’s recent call for the bloc to treat the energy crisis as equivalent to a defence emergency. Italy has the second-highest debt-to-GDP ratio in the EU after Greece, limiting Rome’s room for large-scale subsidies under existing fiscal rules. Italian Prime Minister…
