The ex-deputyMasista Susana Rivero confronted the lawyers who defend the representatives of the General Staff involved in the trial for the “Golpe II” case. During the interrogation of several of the defense lawyers, Rivero he rebuked them and questioned the presence of tanks and planes in the streets of La Paz.
The responsible judge of the audience should have drawn the attention of the former deputy on several occasions to ask her to address answer the questions asked by the defenses. The strategy adopted by them sought to disassociate their defendants from the determinations made during the meetings held at the Bolivian Catholic University, from November 10 to 12, 2019.
Regarding the line of succession, Rivero reiterated that it corresponded to her ahead of former president Jeanine Áñez. He referred to the Constitution as a guarantee for his argument. “The priority, hierarchy and quotas establish that the succession goes from the Presidency of Senators to the Presidency of Deputies, and then goes to the Vice Presidency. Therefore, it is not transversal, but vertical,” explained the former deputy.
According to this interpretation, Rivero would precede Áñez in the presidential succession since she served as the first vice president of the Chamber of Deputies.
A review of the constitutional text reflects, in article 169, that “in case of impediment or definitive absence of the President or the President of the State, she will be replaced or replaced in office by the Vice President or the Vice President and, in the absence of the latter or the latter, by the President or the President of the Senate, and in the absence of the latter, by the President or the President of the Chamber of Deputies. In the latter case, new elections will be called within a maximum period of 90 days.”
The Magna Carta does not detail how to proceed in the absence of the presidents of each Chamber.
Rivero claimed his right to succession, and therefore pointed out that Jeanine Áñez’s action was illegal. RHe rejected the existence of a resignation from his position as Vice President of Deputies before November 14, 2019.
Nevertheless, the portal CheckaBolivia.com revealed the existence of a tweet corresponding to November 10 of the same year, published by Rivero and in which shows an irrevocable resignation letter First Vice President of the Chamber of Deputies.
The tweet was deleted from Rivero’s account. The former deputy denied the existence of said tweet on June 19, 2021 and noted that “if they were able to kill saying that the people were shooting at themselves; of organizing simultaneous attacks that several of us suffer at the same time; of branding our minor children by threatening them with death, they are capable of everything, including making fake resignations”.
For Rivero,Añez could only replace Adriana (Salvatierra) in administrative tasks simple, such as convening a session, for example.” He acknowledges that the presidential succession of the former president was argued according to a mechanism existing to the jurisprudence “known as the ipso factowhich is designed for those who are in the line of succession”.
During the interrogation by the defense of Jeanine Áñez, the lawyers of the Ministry of Government and of the The Office of the Attorney General tried to make his questions unfeasible by considering them “captive and suggestive“. However, the judge ordered the witness to respond to them.
