Bolivia in Turmoil: Accusations of a 'Self-Coup' Amid Economic Crisis

Former Bolivian President Evo Morales has accused his political ally-turned-rival, current President Luis Arce, of orchestrating a 'self-coup' to gain sympathy amidst plummeting popularity.

This accusation comes as Bolivia faces significant economic challenges, including a dependency on and now a shortage of U.S. dollars, leading to widespread distrust in the government.

The allegations of a self-coup have added to the political instability, with Morales and others claiming that Arce's actions were designed to deceive the Bolivian people and cling to power during a time of crisis.
