The activist of the Mujeres Creando collective, María Galindo, He canceled his appearance at the last minute. at the registration offices and said that he wanted to avoid any confrontation with another group that was arriving at the commission at the same time.

The one who did arrive was the former deputy of the MAS, Lidia Patty, as a candidate for Ombudsman and said that she will fight for the validity of the rights of all people, although He did not want to refer to the case of the former president, Jeanine Áñezwho is in preventive detention for more than a year in the Miraflores prison, precisely as a result of Patty’s complaint.

Although the summons to the position of Ombudsman prohibits all persons who they had militated in some party, Lidia Patty considered that she should be elected for the defense of human rights that she would have defended all this time (Senkata and Sacaba).

The outstanding note of the day was given by Raúl Alejo Quispe, who identified himself as a native indigenous candidate, but he is also blind. He said that his condition does not prevent him from running for high office in the country.
