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.
