LA PAZ (Reuters) – Bolivia’s government has summoned the ambassador from neighboring Argentina following comments by the office of President Javier Milei which repudiated claims of an attempted coup last week in La Paz as “fraudulent.”

Interim Foreign Minster Maria Nela Prada told a press conference that Bolivia’s government “energetically rejects” the comments from Milei’s office and that its ambassador to Argentina had also been called in for talks.
