Bolivia's President Luis Arce (right) and Vice-President David Choquehuanca wave at supporters during a celebration of their first year of government after delivering the state of the nation speech to lawmakers at the Plurinational Legislative Assembly in La Paz, Bolivia, Monday, November 8, 2021
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.”

“We are going to defend our process. We beat them in the ballot box … but what they couldn’t win in the ballot box they want to tear away from us with mobilisations in which they pay people,” he said.
