“We are deeply concerned by reports of an attempted coup against the elected Bolivian Government,” the Ministry said in a written statement.
In the statement, it was hoped that the democratic order and stability in Bolivia would be “quickly restored”:
“We hereby reiterate our opposition to all coups and military interventions and strongly condemn all actions aimed at overthrowing legitimate governments.”
