On June 26, 2024, Bolivia's President Arce condemned the 'abnormal mobilization' by the military and called for unity as a military coup attempt took place but was peacefully resolved within three hours. President Arce confronted the coup leader face-to-face, ordering a retreat, leading to speculations of self-orchestration. The brief coup saw the ousted ex-Army Chief enter the presidential palace but leave after being confronted by Arce, who then reappointed new military leaders. The unusual coup raised suspicions and criticism, with claims of a staged event to boost Arce's declining support. Following the events, doubts lingered, with experts warning of the fragile Bolivian political landscape and concerns over the country's future direction.
