Julia Chatterley, anchor of CNN International's First Move program, interviewed AS/COA'S Vice President Eric Farnsworth regarding a failed coup attempt in Bolivia. Military officers in connection with the thwarted coup against President Luis Arce’s government were detained, including Gen. Juan José Zúñiga, who led the rebellion.
Chatterley asked Farnsworth if he was surprised to hear about the rebellion.
"Bolivia has a history of coups and this is certainly not the first time it's happened either Bolivia or surrounding countries, but it is a bit of a surprise because most of Latin America really has moved on from this type of behavior," said Farnsworth. "Luis Arce was democratically elected. So this wasn't an effort to overthrow, for example, a dictatorship or some authoritarian government. There has been political chaos in the country, a rivalry between the current president, the former president, Evo Morales, which has led to some economic paralysis and some challenges there. But most of Latin America has moved on from this type of response."
