Attempted Coup in Bolivia (June 2024)

 

On June 26, 2024, an attempted coup took place in Bolivia. President Luis Arce reported an “irregular deployment of troops” in the capital city, La Paz, expressing concerns about a presidential coup. 

Troops stormed the presidential palace, Casa Grande del Pueblo. Arce confronted the general commander of the army, Juan José Zúñiga, who appeared to be leading the rebellion. While Zúñiga did not explicitly say he was leading a coup, he mentioned that the army aimed to “restore democracy and free political prisoners.” Arce called for democracy to be respected and announced new heads of the army, navy, and air force. He vowed that democracy would prevail and urged mobilized troops to return to their units. Former President Evo Morales also denounced the military movement as a "coup in the making". Let’s hope for a peaceful resolution to this situation.
