BOLIVIAN President Luis Arce has vowed to defend the country from another Washington-backed coup as thousands rallied against violence from fascist opposition groups across the country.
Speaking in the capital La Paz on Wednesday he said: “We are not going to allow them to do what they did in 2019.”
