On the other hand, the former president of Bolivia Evo Morales (2006-2019) said this Wednesday that a “coup d’état” is brewing in the country after an “irregular” deployment of tanks and heavily armed soldiers in front of the headquarters of Government in the city of La Paz.
He also called for a “national mobilization to defend Democracy” and accused the commander general of the Bolivian Army Juan José Zuñiga of being at the head of the military operation.
The secretary general of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, stated this Wednesday from Paraguay that the organization will not tolerate “any form of violation of the legitimate constitutional order in Bolivia”, after the deployment of soldiers in front of the headquarters of Government in peace.
“The General Secretariat of the OAS condemns in the most forceful manner these actions of the Bolivian Army; it must submit to civil authority as mandated by the Inter-American Democratic Charter,” Almagro stated.
Likewise, he expressed his “solidarity with the president of Bolivia, Luis Arce Catacora.”
“The international community, the OAS, the General Secretariat of the OAS, will not tolerate any form of violation of the legitimate constitutional order in Bolivia or anywhere else,” he added.
