 LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) - Bolivia's new president swore in his Cabinet, making clear that the caretaker government would be brief as he seeks early elections to placate opposition demonstrators who recently crippled the country with strikes.
In the brief ceremony late Tuesday, Eduardo Rodriguez named a new army commander-in-chief, Gen. Marcelo Antezana, a foreign minister, Armando Loayza, and dozens of ministers in what he called a national unity Cabinet.
He urged the new government to help Bolivia move past the weeks of opposition strikes, oilfield takeovers and road blockades that toppled his predecessor last week.
