The president of Bolivia, who learned about the military rebellion, asked for help from the people. After that, civilians took to the streets protesting against the systems that use force. There was a clash between the military and civilians in the capital. The army groups that did not want to go to confrontation with the people began to leave their positions. The Bolivian special operations forces took advantage of this and arrested the organizer of the coup, Juan Jose Suniga, who had been dismissed from command earlier.

Bolivia expressed its readiness to export llama meat to Russia, among other products, including coffee beans, canned pineapples, bananas, chocolate. Moscow Mufti Ildar Alautdinov stated that "Muslims are allowed to eat llama meat if the animal is slaughtered in accordance with the laws of Islam or other Abrahamic religions."
