Striking bus drivers spank a colleague who was caught breaking the strike in El Alto, Bolivia, on Wednesday, June 8, 2005. Protesters who forced President Carlos Mesa to resign took to the streets again Wednesday to denounce a congressional leader poised to replace him and demand early elections that could boost the presidential aspirations of an anti-U.S. Indian leader.
