The accreditation of delegates attending before the “XIII National University Congress”, by the commission of powers began in the Faculty of Mining, of the Tomás Frías University of Potosí, in the same, students and authorities They warned about a new failure of this event due to the lack of student delegates.
“It is not complying with a fundamental issue that is the full joint student teacher co-government, Many universities in the system have arrived without a student delegationmuch of this has to do with the maneuver of Max Mendoza”, launched the Cochabamba delegate, Pablo Zárate, who said that if this requirement is not met, the representativeness of this congress may be null.
In Potosí the “XIII National University Congress” resumed, which was suspended in May 2018 and Commissions of students and university authorities must attend the meeting in equal numbers, which is not being fulfilled.
“We have to wait for the report of the powers commission so that, based on it, we can make a decision of the parties, because it would be serious if the congress is carried out outside the regulations, we could be subject to any future legal situation”, warned the rector of the San Francisco Xavier University of Chuquisaca, Sergio Padilla Cortez.
The authority stated that in the case of the university it runs, only the delegation of teachers attended because the student body did not manage to form a directive, that is to say, that there are no leaders of the FUL who should organize this assistance.
Before being arrested, Max Mendoza had asked for this congress to be postponed and to move its venue, he proposed that it be La Pazbut no one accepted his proposal, two days after that request he was arrested in Cochabamba and on Sunday he was sent to the San Pedro prison in La Paz.
The morning newspaper El Potosí reported that in the offices of the Mining faculty, where the power commission meets, There is more influx of teachers than students. Pablo Zarate said that this is an irregularity that Congress must observe. “The congress cannot be held and would have to suspend until there is full co-government (teacher-student)”, he warned.
From the perspective of the students, it was Mendoza’s strategy throughout these years, caused conflicts in the electoral processes of the student centers of the universities; With that argument he extended the mandate of the leaders who are close to him.
