Áñez describes the start of a new oral trial against her as a “show” and a “circus”

Former President Jeanine Áñez considered that a new “show” begins in Boliviaafter the Attorney General of the State, César Siles, confirmed for this Monday the start of the oral trial against the former president and other people involved in the Senkata case.

“Now, Today, the next show begins: Two illegal and simultaneous oral trials against me. Two more lies against a former president kidnapped and detained for 1,267 days. Whatever they do, the circus is no longer enough to distract a people. convinced that they are the worst thing that could have happened to Bolivia,” Áñez said on her social media, which is managed by her family, since she was imprisoned.

He assured that this new “show” begins because “They have already worn out the show of kidnapping and imprisonment of political prisoners”; “they have already exhausted the resource of Zúñiga’s self-coup”; “they have already planted a census tailored to a smaller population to distribute fewer resources to the regions”; “they have already run out of their fake referendum”, and because “Nobody believes them anymore“in the country’s current economic crisis.

In your opinion, “the regime” needs a “scapegoat” or another “smoke screen””, in the midst of all that context.

Áñez is currently being held in the Miraflores prison in the city of La Paz, for the alleged coup d’état of 2019. Her new trial is being promoted in the 4th Criminal Sentencing Court of the city of El Alto, for the deaths that occurred in Senkata during the crisis of that same year.

Attorney Siles recalled on Sunday that The new trial is against 18 peopleincluding, in addition to Áñez, her former ministers Arturo Murillo, Luis Fernando López and Víctor Hugo Zamora.

This process “It is for the serious crime of genocide of the Senkata massacre (where there were) 10 dead (…) and we are going to ask, both during the opening arguments and also during the closing arguments, for the imposition of the maximum sentence of 30 years in prison,” said Siles.
