Bolivia has a long history of attempted coups and coups that have succeeded.
A left wing government in the Latin Americas under threat from the Armed Forces. Who would have thought it?!?!
Should we guess or assert it may have support from a certain western power?!?!
Not the first time we are witnessing the same scenario unfolding. The coup has failed but the tactics and practices remain the same.
Leave the Bolivian people in peace and leave them alone.
Quote:Bolivia’s President Luis Arce appears to have seen off an attempt to topple his leftwing government after a dramatic afternoon in which heavily armed troops, seemingly commanded by a top army general, stormed the government palace before beating a retreat and seeing their alleged leader detained.
On Wednesday afternoon Arce urged citizens to take to the streets to defend the country’s democracy from an apparent coup attempt, after troops seized control of a central square in La Paz which houses government buildings.
We need the Bolivian people to mobilise and organise themselves against this coup d’état and in favour of democracy,” Arce said in a video message filmed at the Great House of the People, the official presidential residence in Bolivia’s de facto capital of La Paz.
Flanked by members of his cabinet, Arce declared: “We cannot allow, once again, attempted coups to claim Bolivian lives.”
“Long live the people of Bolivia! Long live democracy!” the ministers shouted, thrusting their left fists into the air. “Long live our president, Luis Arce!”
