La Paz, June 1 (RHC)--The president of Bolivia, Luis Arce, denounced this Friday a conspiracy to carry out a "soft coup" in the country with imperial strategies, such as the spreading of rumors and creation of tensions to take control of the nation's strategic resources.

"Many dark and unpatriotic external and internal forces conspire against the identity of the homeland, through hybrid operations such as soft coups, sabotage of the economy, through sowing of rumors, anxiety and persecutions, textbook tactics of imperial powers.  Without without any pretense, they want to control lithium, rare earths, fresh water and strategic resources," he noted.

The head of state specified that in this way, the aim is to stop Bolivia's progress to prevent the people from being the owners of strategic resources and participating in government decisions to make democracy fail.

Luis Arce added that “in the global dispute for our resources, we must strengthen air power, based on our own military doctrine.”  "In the context of global conflicts of a hybrid and unrestricted nature, it has been possible to observe the growing importance of aerospace power for the preservation of the sovereignty of the States, the defense of territorial integrity (...)," said the Bolivarian president.

Luis Arce confirmed that strengthening resistance will help to confront the danger of organized crime.  And he also warned about the use of the nation's airspace for criminal purposes, alluding to drug trafficking.

The Bolivian president stressed that the Military Aviation College (Colmilav) "Tgral. Germán Busch", which has been founded for 72 years, is an establishment of great value, for its work in training officers of the Bolivian Air Force (FAB). 

"Because of the name it bears, it must be the bastion of the thought of Germán Busch, hero of the Chaco and leader of the great transformations in Bolivia (...).   Colmilav has become a 'Crisol of Condors' training highly trained officers, disciplined and with a high sense of patriotism and ethical values,” Arce stressed.

The Bolivian president insisted that, in the face of new global and even regional coercion, the doctrinal, strategic and tactical operational capabilities of the Bolivian Air Force must be enhanced.
