Caracas, July 10, 2024.- The President of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, Luis Arce, participated in the 10th Extraordinary Summit of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) held via videoconference, where he updated the Heads of State and Government of the other nine member countries on the events following the attempted coup on June 26th.

Arce highlighted the importance of recovering democratic values and rejecting any attempt to divide the Andean country. 

The President emphasized that those who promote a military coup have interests that are not aligned with those of the Bolivian people, seeking to establish a fascist government in the region. 

In this sense, he thanked the solidarity of the presidents and prime ministers of ALBA-TCP and invited them to support the bloc’s declaration in favor of democracy and against any threat of destabilization.

He called for unity within ALBA-TCP to maintain peace in Latin America, emphasizing that peace and social justice must prevail over imperialist and fascist interests. 

Arce concluded by stating that only through unity and resistance of the peoples, a better future can be guaranteed.
