 There was also a tense confrontation between the general and the president, Luis Arce, who ordered the general out of the public square and called the people to the streets. Wait, so did the general just turn around and leave? Pretty much so. The president held a brief ceremony, appointed a new commander. Arce criticized what he called bad soldiers and praised the new leader. As soon after, the general was arrested again live on TV, and Arce came out and rallied supporters.
