On June 26, 2024, a failed military coup occurred in Bolivia, with troops led by the ousted ex-army commander Zuniga temporarily occupying the presidential palace and congress plaza in Murillo. After President Arce called for national unity against the coup, Zuniga's forces began to withdraw, and the police regained control of the plaza. Amid a deteriorating economy and political infighting ahead of next year's elections, tensions remain high as former president Morales prepares to run again, adding to the country's political uncertainties. Various local and international leaders condemned the coup attempt, and detained opposition figures also criticized the military action.
