Bolivia's Central Workers Union (COB) declared a "state of emergency" in order to secure the swear-in ceremony of Bolivian newly elected president Luis Arce tomorrow.

The announcement was made after the dynamite attack, on Thursday, at the La Paz headquarters of the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS), where Arce was holding a meeting. The president survived the attack without any injury.

Rejecting the strike promoted by civic groups in the Santa Cruz Department, the COB has called on all social organizations, confederations, and federations to attend the swear-in ceremony which will take place in the Murillo Square tomorrow, Sunday.

"Attending organizations should designate comrades who can also guard the surroundings of the Murillo Square, taking into account that there are separatist, renegade, and right-wing groups which are carrying out vandalism, strikes, and blockades," a COB press release noted.
