Census: despite the abandonment of the delegations of 4 departments, in the next few hours the conclusions of the technical tables will be presented

While the Vice Minister of Planning, David Guachalla, said that the time reduction raised at the recruitment and census ballot tables did not affect the final deadline for carrying out the census, Minister Sergio Cusicanqui said that that process is just under analysis and subtracts the field tests.

“They proposed adjustments to the deadlines of the activitiesbut they also concluded that the decrease in the date of the Population Census has no impact, at the moment the third report of the third table regarding the cartographic update is being analyzed, ”Vice Minister Guachalla had stated.

However, shortly after the delegations of the Interinstitutional Committee of Santa Cruz, the municipalities of La Paz, Tarija and Beni left the meeting of the technical commission, Minister Cusicanqui came out to criticize the attitude of these delegations and He said that the two tables proposed time reduction and that analysis was still under way.

“What needed to be done, and what they are routing the work right now, in the technical commission, is to see What impact do these reductions have on the specific activities of the definition of the census date? They have already shied away from that and once again they have abandoned the technical debate and the work of the commission,” the minister reported at his press conference.

that way an open contradiction could be perceived from the authorities regarding the conclusions in two tables. The delegates of the Interinstitutional Committee reported, however, that the INE closed any possibility of discussing the shortening of deadlines and that there was never any intention of modifying its calendar.

Cusicanqui said that the commission will continue working and that in the next few hours they could conclude with the presentation of the conclusions of the four days of meetings. While Vice Minister Guachalla considered the INE calendar ratified and said that it is maintained because no one presented a technical proposal that could change that schedule.
