LA PAZ, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- Bolivian President Evo Morales announced his support Friday for his Brazilian counterpart Dilma Rousseff's government, which is currently under fire due to different factors.

Morales strongly rejected any action that would lead to a coup d'etat in Brazil and in Latin America.

"We will not allow coups in Brazil or in Latin America. We are going to defend democracy," Morales said during the commemoration of the 115th anniversary of the Sergeant's Military School in the central department of Cochabamba.

Groups opposing Rousseff's government, corruption and economic problems protested nationwide Sunday. Prior to Sunday's nationwide protest against her government, Rousseff reaffirmed that she will not step down from the government.
