Armoured vehicle breaks through door at Bolivian presidential palace as country faces coup attempt
Armoured vehicles rammed into the doors of Bolivia’s presidential palace in La Paz on Wednesday, 26 June, during what appeared to be an attempted military coup.
President Luis Arce issued a video statement ordering the general commander of the Army, Juan José Zúñiga, to stand down.
“The country is facing an attempted coup d’état. Here we are, firm in Casa Grande, to confront any coup attempt. We need the Bolivian people to organise,” Mr Arce said.
Speaking to journalists outside the government building, Mr Zúñiga said that “for now” he recognizes Mr Arce as commander-in-chief.
