Evo Morales admits “recommendation” to the Government of ARce
Evo Morales used his personal Twitter account to respond to that accusation and admitted that there was a recommendation to his bench. “To recommend is not to harm.

Ldeputy, Gladys Quispe, staunch supporter of Evo Morales, admitted that there was that meeting, but denied that instruction, “What was recommended is that we make use of parliamentary rights, because we represent different sectors and we have to inform; So everything that shines is not always a gold coin, there are observations, we have every right to recommend, suggest… that’s what we parliamentarians are for, to oversee,” said Deputy Quispe.
The statements of the two deputies coincide with the events that happened between August and December 2021, Well, on August 4, the Organic Congress of the MAS took place, where part of the MAS bench attended. It was at that meeting that the questions to the cabinet of ministers of Luis Arce began.

Three days later, in the tropics of Cochabamba, there was a meeting of the six federations of cocaleros; In that meeting Morales revealed that he did discuss the cabinet with the two leaders and publicly requested the change of ministers; It was the first time that there was talk of the departure of ministers, which led to an internal struggle, which led to shouting in the Assembly.
In January 2022 Deputy Freddy López appeared, who raised, for the first time, the interpellation against the Minister of Government and insisted on taking him to the bench for a domestic issue in El Alto.
That insistence lasted three months and, At the end of May, Eduardo del Castillo appeared before his bench and managed to escape censorship with a MAS bench that was already divided. This Friday, the ‘evistas’ deputies again raised a new challenge to the same authority.
