Bolivia’s presidential palace has been stormed by soldiers in what appears to be a coup attempt, as ex-president Evo Morales warns of a threat to democracy. General Juan José Zúñiga declared, “We are going to recover this homeland,” after troops took over Murillo Square. Morales accused Zúñiga of planning a coup and called on supporters of democracy to resist. President Luis Arce condemned the troop movements as “irregular” and stressed the importance of respecting democracy. The situation is tense, with military units positioned at all corners of Plaza Murillo. Morales, who was Bolivia’s first indigenous president, implemented progressive reforms during his tenure. Following his resignation in 2019, Arce won the presidency in 2020, marking a return to power for the Mas socialist party. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
