“The country is facing an attempted coup d’etat. Here we are, firm in Casa Grande, to confront any coup attempt. We need the Bolivian people to organise,” Arce said in a video, surrounded by ministers in the palace.
The scenes have brought alarm to the Andean nation, where former left-wing President Morales, from the same party as Arce, was removed from office in events many described as a coup in 2019.
“We express the strongest condemnation of the attempted coup d’etat in Bolivia,” Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said.
Edit: The coup attempt apparently failed and the article has been updated
And the General claimed it was all staged afterwards lol. I believe atm that Acre did Sorkin his way out of it, but it’s up there with Fidel representing himself in court and winning levels of implausible yet happened
Stranger things have happened, I suppose!
