On April 7, the departmental authority was in Brazil and in border towns, so was unable to attend a request for an oral report in the city of La Paz summoned by the commission of Territorial Organization of the State and Autonomies of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly to report on the same subject.

However, Camacho confirmed that, despite the fact that it is not the responsibility of the national entity to supervise the governor, since it is an attribution of the Departmental Legislative Assembly, he will attend the interpellation if the date does not interrupt his previously scheduled activities.

“If they call us obviously we will go, as long as they do not have an agenda to fulfill because for me, the functions as governor and the attention to our people come before giving me a clown like the one they want to do. If there is no agenda, obviously I am going to go,” Camacho assured.
