A failed coup attempt in Bolivia by US-backed General Juan José Zúñiga.
Bolivia, a dramatic coup attempt aimed at President Luis Arce was stopped in its tracks.
Armored vehicles smashed into the government palace, yet Arce stood strong, swiftly replacing the defiant army commander.
His firm actions, backed by massive support from the public waving national flags, led to the troops pulling back.
Bolivian President Luis Arce has met the leader of the attempted military coup in Bolivia face to face at the doors of the Presidential Palace.
Bolivian president emerges VICTORIOUS from the palace:
"Brothers, I want to thank you. You have mobilized quickly throughout the country… No one can take away the democracy we've earned in the streets through the blood of the Bolivian people!"
The leader of the attempted coup, Juan José Zúñiga, has been arrested by his own troops.
The United States is behind the attempted coup in Bolivia, says Egor Lidovskoy, director of the Hugo Chavez Latin American Centre.
According to the expert, the reason for the events is the independent policy of the country's president, Luis Arce, Bolivia's desire to become part of the BRICS and to establish relations with Russia. In addition, Bolivia has almost a quarter of the world's lithium reserves - a very valuable fossil that the US wants to seize, Lidovskoy noted.
"There has already been an attempted coup in Bolivia in 2019. It was successful, unfortunately quite bloody, when fascists came to power. However, the elections were won by the socialists and they began to build a policy that would put Bolivia on the path of development towards a multipolar world," the expert noted.
The US attempt to stage a coup failed not only because of the lessons Bolivia learned from the past. Arce was able to rally the population around him when he came out to the demonstrators, he explained.

They tried this with Maduro too. Not just Juan Guaido but actually sent mercenaries for the Bay of Fish.
Uncle Scam is becoming increasingly impotent in spreading Democracy™ and becoming a laughing stock.
