The President’s lawyer Dina BoluarteJosep Campos, He referred to the jurisdictional claim that they presented a few days ago before the Constitutional Court. The technical defense of the head of state pointed out that, at present, they have more than one constitutional scenario.
Along those lines, Fields He stated that the investigation opened against the head of state for genocide was to damage the “presidential image inside and outside the country” and that this “image” has accompanied for 18 months Dina Boluarte. He noted that this investigation has served as a kind of “institutional narrative” to blame the president for the deaths recorded in the social mobilizations against her. Government.
“There are things like genocide that even served to damage the presidential image inside and outside the country. That image has accompanied the President of the Republic for 18 months. It has even served as an institutional narrative so that a woman has believed that the President of the Republic is responsible for the deaths that we all lamented last year and that she has even exposed herself to an attack,” he said in an interview with Canal N.
Constitutional Court must determine how the Prosecutor’s Office should act, says Joseph Campos
Josep Campos He indicated that the measure imposed by the Executive seeks to ensure that the constitutional Court determine what actions should be taken by the Public ministry in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.
“All of these things, the Constitutional Court has to say: investigate it (Public Prosecutor’s Office) quickly, for evidence, be very precise. Why am I going to talk about an investigation of genocide if it is clearly impossible? So that is what the Constitutional Court has to do, determine a way of investigating so that it coincides with the purposes and so that the Constitution says: Mr. President of the Republic, dedicate yourself to governing,” he emphasized.
He stressed that when ongoing investigations are presented towards a certain authority, a kind of “rumor” is created that affects the legitimation of the President of the Republic.
“Three weeks ago, the American Supreme Court said that Mr. President, in the acts of your functions you will not have responsibility, we do not want that and why did I say that? For two reasons: Because every time there is a criminal investigation, even though we are asking for the presumption of innocence, that rumor is always created that affects the democratic legitimacy of the President of the Republic. Then they call him a genocidal, murderer, corrupt, all those words deteriorate. And second, the most important thing is that the President of the Republic acts firmly when she has to do so, without political cowardice, without thinking that after being president investigations and accusations will fall on her; that is what they are looking for. The Constitution protects whoever it may be, that is why it is wrong when they speak and say that the President has provoked the conflict of jurisdiction; the conflict of jurisdiction is provoked by the State in favor of the Executive, whoever it may be,” he said.
