Bolivian general Juan José Zúñiga suggested on Wednesday that the failed coup in the country was actually orchestrated by President Luis Arce as an attempt to boost his popularity while the country goes through a grave economic crisis.
Speaking to press after being arrested, Zúñiga said he had a conversation with Arce during the weekend in which he told him they needed to do something this week to counter the situation. The government categorically rejected the statement.
