“I will not allow this insubordination,” Arce has stated through state television and has added that they are “stand firm here in Casa Grande to confront any coup attemptany attempt that threatens our democracy.”
The president of Bolivia, also from the seat of Government, has appointed new commanders of the Bolivian Army. Furthermore, Luis Arce and former President Evo Morales have separately called on their followers and citizens to “mobilize” to defend democracy from what both considered a military “coup d’état” by the commander general of the Bolivian Army.
