In Bolivia, union leaders marched on the capital of La Paz Friday in support of leftist President Luis Arce after he survived a failed military coup attempt last month. Arce addressed supporters at the “March for Democracy.”
President Luis Arce: “Behind a coup, there are always economic interests. And in our country, we’ve always had to face coups as others wanted to take our natural resources from us. For strategy and geopolitics, they wanted to take what is for us the engine of development and growth of the families here in our country.”
