Bolivian President Luis Arce appointed new heads of the Armed Forces after denouncing an attempted coup d’état. The new military command ordered troops led by General Juan Jose Zuniga to return home.
The country’s Supreme Court also condemned what it called an attack on democratic stability in the South American country.
After the new orders, troops began to leave the vicinity of the presidential palace.
