Last Wednesday in Bolivia, a former general in the army led a group of troops to attack the presidential palace. According to a report in The Guardian, the current president of Bolivia, Luis Arce, told the coup’s leader, Juan Jose Zuniga, to stand down. According to a report in the AP, the former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, claimed that Arce had been in on the plot and encouraged the coup as a way to score political points. Recent polls in Bolivia have shown that Arce’s Movement For Socialism (MAS) is unpopular due to an ongoing economic crisis. It is unclear what will happen, but Arce’s position will not be secure for the foreseeable future.
