A Bolivian general, Juan Jose Zuniga, recently stripped of his military command, was arrested in La Paz late on Wednesday after an apparent coup attempt.

Speaking to the media before being arrested, Zuniga alleged that President Luis Arce himself had requested him to stage the coup attempt to "push up his popularity," without offering evidence.

Inside the presidential palace, Arce swore in José Wilson Sanchez as the military commander, Zuniga's former role. He called for calm and order to be restored after residents took to the streets.
