On June 26, a failed coup attempt occurred in Bolivia led by former army commander, Gen. Junca. He and his armed soldiers surrounded the presidential palace in an attempt to overthrow the current government, but after hours of confrontation, Junca was arrested and the troops withdrew. President Arce condemned the coup and called on the people to resist, while also seeking international support to defend democracy. The rebel leader admitted his dissatisfaction with the government and plans to release political prisoners and reshuffle the cabinet if successful. The prosecution in Bolivia will investigate Junca and other conspirators. The situation calmed down after the rebels retreated, with Arce addressing the nation and receiving support from various countries condemning the coup.
