Bolivia's President Luis Arce: Strengthened After Failed Coup

Bolivia's leftist President Luis Arce, in his first interview since a failed military coup, stated that street support has strengthened his administration. The quiet economist has vowed to continue working until his last day. The coup involved rogue military units seizing La Paz's central square and breaching the presidential palace.

Bolivia's leftist President Luis Arce told Reuters support on the streets had strengthened his government after a failed military coup just days ago and that he would keep working until his last day, in one of his first interviews since the dramatic attack.

The quiet economist was thrust into the global spotlight on Wednesday when rogue military units seized the central square of La Paz and rammed a door of the presidential palace with an armored vehicle to allow soldiers to rush in.
