    Couldn’t find it in English since lets be honest western media lies about what happens in South America, but here’s El Pais in Spanish about it.

    https://elpais.com/america/2024-06-26/el-comandante-del-ejercito-de-bolivia-fue-destituido-tras-amenazar-a-evo-morales-no-puede-ser-mas-presidente-de-este-pais.html

    Basically he was dismissed since he threatened to arrest Evo Morales who is the former president and a possible future canidate for the president. Morales is a very popular left wing leader who was forced out in 2019, but all western media will tell you is that he is corrupt while denying the legitimacy of the elections he won. Morales is also the first indigenous leader of Bolivia the only majority indigenous South American country I believe which has a lot to do with the opposition to him.

      I’d be interested to know what kind of media El Pais is by your judgement.

        He sounds a bit like those advocates that say only Russian/Chinese/Saudi Arabian news are telling the truth, when it is all state controlled outlets.
