In an exclusive interview to Sputnik, Bolivian President Luis Arce elaborated on the potential cause of last week’s abortive coup d’état in the country.
Arce said the forces behind those destabilizing acts are those interested in plundering Bolivia’s natural resources.
“We should be vigilant, that is the lesson we should draw,” he told Sputnik Mundo.
Last week, the Bolivian military, led by General Juan José Zuñiga, gathered in the central square of Bolivia’s administrative capital La Paz and tried to break into the presidential palace. President Arce, who was in the palace at the time, made an address to the nation calling the attack an attempted coup. He appointed a new army command, which called on the troops to leave the square. The soldiers complied with the order. Zuñiga was arrested later in the day.
