The Bolivian people have crush an attempted military coup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bolivian soldiers led by the commanding general of the Bolivian Army rammed a tank into the doors of the Bolivian presidential palace, shattering them open on Wednesday afternoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rebel commander of the armed forces, General Juan Jose Zuniga, issued a demand that all “political prisoners” be released, including the jailed former ‘president’ Jeanine \u00c1\u00f1ez. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSurely soon there will be a new Cabinet of ministers; our country, our state cannot go on like this,\u201d Zuniga declared to reporters from the tank before he entered the palace, according to the Associated Press. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The soldiers clamored inside, where they confronted President Luis Acre. But in an extraordinary moment captured by local TV networks and re-posted online, Acre came face-to-face with Zuniga, staring him directly in the eyes as Zuniga\u2019s soldiers pushed into the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am your commander, and I order you to withdraw your soldiers. I will not allow this insubordination,\u201d Acre was heard telling Zuniga during the tense standoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acre also called on his supporters to stand up to the coup and fight back in a video he recorded alongside his ministers before the soldiers stormed the palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roberto R\u00edos Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez, secretary-general of Bolivia\u2019s trade union confederation, similarly called on Bolivians to launch a general strike in resistance to the coup. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
