Bolivian president denies conspiracy with army chief amid attempted coup

After refusing to withdraw troops in an attempted coup, Bolivian army chief Juan Jose Zuniga has been arrested and dismissed from his post.

In a twist to the unfolding drama, Zuniga claims he was following orders from President Luis Arce in a bid to boost his popularity ahead of the 2025 election.

An accusation Arce denies, saying the army chief "acted alone."
