EU condemns 'any attempt' to break constitutional order in Bolivia

The EU late Wednesday condemned "any attempt" to tear apart the constitutional order in Bolivia amid reports of a coup attempt in the South American nation.

"The European Union condemns any attempt to break the constitutional order in Bolivia and overthrow democratically elected governments, and expresses its solidarity with the Bolivian government and people," Josep Borrell, the bloc's foreign policy chief, said on X.

Borrell's remarks came immediately after Bolivian President Luis Arce denounced an "irregular mobilization" of some units of the army amid reports of a coup attempt.
