The former general commander of the Bolivian army Juan José Zuniga - dismissed yesterday after publicly threatening former president Evo Morales - declared that a new government will soon be appointed because "the country cannot go on like this".

The general was interviewed by the Bolivian press after about a hundred soldiers led by him broke into the government headquarters in Murillo Square, La Paz.

The action of the armed forces had shortly before been defined as "irregular" by President Luis Alberto Arce.

Former head of state Morales invited citizens and political movements to take to the streets.
