Presidential spokesman Jorge Richter compared this Sunday the assumption of the presidency of Jeanine Añez -in November 2019- with that of the military governments because article 161 of the Political Constitution of the State (CPE) would not have been complied with.
He himself refers to the chambers of senators and deputies must meet to receive the oath of the president of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, situation that did not occur to Richter’s understanding.
“Mrs. Añez did not swear, but rather assumed the presidency of the State under the same conditions as, for example, (Luis) García Meza who swears in the Miraflores barracks. The dictators in our country never swore in the Plurinational Legislative Assembly (ALP) or in the old Congress of the Republic”, she highlighted.
On November 12, 2019, then-senator Jeanine Áñez assumed the Presidency of Bolivia, after exercising the presidency of the Senate due to the resignation of the heads of this state body.
About the trial that follows the former president, called “Coup II”, the presidential spokesman maintains that it is important “because on the 10th, 11th and 12th (of November) Mrs. Añez violates the Constitution and proclaims herself, but in the following seven days he establishes the order to (promote) decree 4078 that allows the military and police to repress, generating 37 deaths in the country.”
The start of this judicial process, which was scheduled for February 10 and was suspended by the First Anti-Corruption Sentencing Court of the city of La Paz. The decision was made “unanimously” and now a new date is awaited.
