The lawyer Jorge Valda, who defends those accused of assaulting Cruz, indicated that the apprehension of his defendants is illegal, because after 24 hours they were not made available to the judgewhich has determined that they file a Release Action.
“It will be the Judge Ana Carrizales Ito that it is going to be constituted in the prison center of the Felcc, where the detainees are. We have informed about the difficulties that relatives and lawyers have had to enter. They closed the door on one of the lawyers’ arm and on my leg. There was quite a restriction on the exercise of the defense, but the fact of having lost communication and not allowing entry has determined the judge to take the Freedom Action hearing for tomorrow (Sunday) and directly from the Felcc, the hearing on measures precautionary measures do not have a specific date or time,” Valda explained.
The lawyer indicated that there are 13 women and 2 men detained and that none of these people was involved in the attacks. “Neither of the two girls in black that appear in the images are in custody. They are other people. There is a lady who was going to her mother’s funeral, a girl who sold empanadas and a lawyer from the Government. Tomorrow (Sunday) the versions of each of them will be known,” Valda said, adding that “there are several elements that indicate us to think that there was something planned.”
“Political bullying”
The presidential spokesman Jorge Richter, identified practices of “political bullying” in the attacks suffered by assemblywoman Muriel Cruz from Santa Cruz.
Richter said that the communiqué of the Departmental Legislative Assembly of Santa Cruz Like the declarations of the deputy of Creemos Hernán Arrien, they try to build a narrative, establish responsibility and attribute the facts to alleged infiltrators and present themselves as victims of the aggression of the Bolivian Police.
“Look at the audacity and absurdity of that. In the facts are practices of political bullying that seek to intimidate and they show contempt for the popular sectors and have no sympathy for Assemblywoman Muriel’s condition as a woman. But we have seen these practices in the Council of Cochabamba where a councilwoman has also been attacked ”, she declared to the press.
Richter also questioned that this Saturday No media outlet has dedicated an editorial written to show solidarity with what has happened to Assemblywoman Muriel Cruz. “On the other hand, with Rómulo Calvo, who has offended a patriotic symbol and who treated Bolivians as ‘human beasts,’ there were editorials.
So there is a double standard and double standards of morality. to qualify what is good, what is bad in politics and these events like yesterday (Friday), do not generate indignation and these are the things that the country must analyze,” he said, according to the Erbol agency.
Supported initiatives to investigate to establish responsibilities and hopes that those investigated do not say “political persecution”, because – according to what he said – these events have been planned and structured before the call to swear in the representatives of the Guarani people.
He admitted that the presence of the indigenous assembly member could change the correlation of forces in the Assembly and lead to the loss of political power of the governor Luis Fernando Camacho and the president of the Assembly Zvonko Matkovic, and given this possibility, “political bullying” is practiced. to intimidate and that people cannot participate politically in the organization of the state.
On the other hand, the Vice Minister of Management of the Health System, Álvaro Terrazas, visited Assemblywoman Muriel Cruz this Saturday at the Martín Dockweiler University Hospital and in statements to BTV News indicated that preliminary studies have been carried out on the affected woman.
He commented that Cruz presents a cervical sprain, rib and abdominal trauma due to the blows received, for which he will have several days to recover, there are no major injuries, but for his safety, observation will be maintained.
