Bolivia's President slashes salary
Bolivia’s President Evo Morales has cut his salary by more than half and declared no Cabinet minister can collect a higher wage than his – €1,500 a month - with the savings going towards hiring more teachers.
The move followed a campaign pledge to tackle political corruption and restore honesty to the government of South America’s poorest country, although critics called it a propaganda ploy that would do little to help the needy.
