Gerardo García, vice president of the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS), who participated in the inter-institutional meeting convened by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), left the political meeting this Monday – which seeks to guarantee joint judicial elections – before its conclusion.
The meeting held in the TSE building, in La Paz, began minutes after 10:00 and García appeared in place of former president Evo Morales.
The leader said that the former president “could not be present, because there were no guarantees” and read a statement to express the evismo position before the rest of the meeting participants.
At noon, García left the TSE building, while the meeting continued with the intervention of different political actors.
“We are withdrawing, we are going to present a document to the Electoral Court signed politically,” he said.
“We salute and congratulate the Electoral Tribunal for its decision that the judicial elections be carried out. “We are going to coordinate with our legislators to see how we are going to work so that the judicial elections can be fully supported, but unanimously, not divided,” he added.
But it is not the first time that Evism leaves a meeting before it concludes. The same thing happened last julywhen in another political meeting promoted by the TSE, Former President Morales also left without signing any agreement.
The new meeting promoted by the TSE was held after the Plurinational Constitutional Court (TCP) declared void the call to elect the judges of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) in the departments of Beni and Pando, and of the TCP in Pando, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz, Beni and Tarija.
