LEFTIST PLOT IN BOLIVIA. La Paz. Announcing the discovery of a leftist plot, Interior Minister Colonel Juan Pereda Asbún announced that the state of siege that ends on Sunday will not be extended. Pereda revealed that the government discovered subversive preparations that were to break out at the end of this month, to overthrow President Hugo Banzer and place a Marxist regime in power in alliance with young military officers and some political parties, union organizations and other groups. He called the aforementioned political officers and leaders “useless fools” of the extremists. He reiterated that the government has no plans to issue an amnesty for detainees and exiles. He reported that the head of the conspiracy is former Major Gary Padro Salmon, who was arrested in La Paz, along with 15 other people, adding that they had allied themselves with the banned leftist extremists. Regarding the leftists, he asserted that although they claim to act in the name of an “ideology”; “They are nothing more than a group of ambitious people, driven by personal interests and in an incredible struggle for supremacy over one another.” He added that the “extreme left, conscious of its lack of strength and rejection by the national majority, is trying to strengthen its links and influence with the conspiratorial schemes of the former officers who were discharged and who acted in the last plot on June 5.”
