Political Crisis Unfolds in Bolivia

Soldiers Stage Failed Coup

Chaos erupted in Bolivia on Wednesday, November 10, 2019, after 21 days of civil protests fueled by a disputed election result. The crisis intensified when soldiers stormed the doors of the government palace in armored vehicles, leading to President Luis Arce declaring a state of emergency. Despite the protests and attempted coup, Luis Arce, who was elected after a period of instability following the 2019 election, remains in power.
