Bolivia’s leftist government turning clock back

Bolivia’s leftist government is turning back the clock. Or, more precisely, turning it backward.

The government this week flipped the clock on top of the Congress building, so that while it’s accurate, the hands now turn counterclockwise.

Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca announced the modification, arguing it was only logical that a clock in the Southern Hemisphere should turn in the opposite direction to a Northern Hemisphere clock.
