Failed Coup Attempt in Bolivia Thwarted by President Luis Arce

Armored vehicles stormed the government palace, but President Arce stood firm and swiftly replaced the defiant army commander.

Bolivia was thrust into turmoil as a coup attempt targeting President Luis Arce was swiftly foiled. The dramatic incident saw armoured vehicles storming the government palace, only to be met with resolute defiance from President Arce, who promptly replaced the rebellious army commander.

“We are determined to uphold our country’s democracy at any cost,” President Arce declared, as he stood firm amidst overwhelming public support, with crowds waving national flags forcing the troops to retreat. In a dramatic turn of events, President Arce confronted the coup leader, General Juan José Zúñiga, who was later seen in handcuffs—a stark symbol of his failed attempt to seize power.

President Arce, addressing the nation from the Presidential Palace, expressed gratitude to the Bolivian people for their swift mobilization in defense of democracy. “No one can take away the democracy we’ve fought for, paid for with the blood of the Bolivian people!” he declared triumphantly.

The swift suppression of the coup reflects Bolivia’s steadfast commitment to democratic governance, amidst ongoing challenges and past experiences of political unrest. Bolivia, under President Arce’s leadership, continues to advocate for global solidarity and has recently applied for membership in BRICS, affirming its support for the Global South.
