The Bolivian deputy Edgar Zegarra, from the Libre alliance, reported in a press conference that the G-2 could be operating in Bolivia to undermine the government of President Rodrigo Paz and prepare a coup in the country for October.
The statements were made this Monday in the context of the scandal generated by the armed attack against political operator Nadia Beller, which occurred on August 17 in front of a hotel in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, and the subsequent arrest of presidential advisor Fernando Cerimedo as the main suspect.
Beller, trained with the Cuban G-2 according to Zegarra
The legislator directly linked Beller with the intelligence services of Havana and accused her of having traveled to Cuba to receive training from that agency.
"This lady has gone to Cuba, Mrs. Beller, to study with the Cuban Intelligence; she has been with Evo Morales, with Jeanine Áñez, with Luis Arce, and today with Rodrigo Paz; all this is not a coincidence," she stated in remarks shared on social media by the channel Tele Estrella.
“I have serious reports; there is a group called G2, a Cuban intelligence group that has staged plays in Bolivia,” he added.
According to Zegarra, that same group would have orchestrated previous episodes: "They have staged with mourning and pain the issue of the hotel Las Américas in Santa Cruz, they have staged the topic of Evo Morales's self-attack, the supposed coup d'état by Mr. Zúñiga."
The "smoke screen" and the plan for October
The deputy stated that the attack on Beller is a maneuver to distract the public while a larger conspiracy is being woven.
"Today they are creating a smokescreen to distract the Bolivian people. We need to investigate what this woman (Beller) has said, but this smokescreen is meant to start weaving a coup in October, taking advantage of the people's unrest because the government has not provided adequate responses to their needs," he detailed.
Zegarra pointed directly to the Movement for Socialism (MAS) as the actor that would seek to capitalize on the crisis:
"The MAS wants to take advantage of the social upheaval to stage a coup in October. That is the reality. There is discontent in Bolivian society because the fundamental needs of the Bolivian people have not been addressed, affecting their stomachs and the cost of gasoline."
This discomfort is backed by figures: the Central Bank of Bolivia projects a GDP decline of 3.6% and an inflation rate of 9.22% for this year, exacerbated by more than fifty days of roadblocks promoted by sectors aligned with the MAS.
"A complete conspiracy"
Zegarra described the series of events as a coordinated operation: “This is the second act of the theatrical play to victimized Evo Morales; the MAS slanders, defames, and lies; this is all a conspiracy.”
The legislator also demanded transparency from the Executive regarding Cerimedo's role, who was arrested on August 18 at Viru Viru airport while attempting to fly to Buenos Aires, and is under 180 days of preventive detention for attempted femicide
"I ask the Executive Power to stop denying that Mr. Cerimedo was a personal advisor to the president. He has been, and we cannot hide that; therefore, it is necessary for the president to speak out and clarify all of this before the Bolivian people."
Background of Cuban Interference and Request for an International Commission
Zegarra's complaints are not new. In April 2026, the same legislator had already warned about the interference of Cuba, Russia, Venezuela, and Iran in Bolivia and reported that Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo was refusing to provide a report on the activities of his diplomats in the country.
The background of Cuban presence in Bolivia includes the detention in 2019 of four officials from Havana accused of financing protests in favor of Morales, and the departure of 725 Cuban collaborators amid allegations of espionage that Cuba rejected.
Zegarra also requested the arrival of an international commission to investigate the Cerimedo case and alleged acts of corruption within the Bolivian Executive. His claims regarding the G-2 and the supposed coup in October are related to political accusations that, so far, have not been supported by verifiable public evidence.
