Faced with a series of complaints by the Movement for Socialism (MAS) against the president of the Committee for Santa Cruz, Rómulo Calvo, political analysts consider that the challenge of the civic entity to face the string of accusations of the Government and its related is to maintain the unity of the social sectors.
This taking into account that civic institutions are currently in a state of emergency in two situations.
On the one hand, the declaration of Rómulo Calvo before the Public Ministrythis Monday at 9:00 and the accusation against the commercial manager of Saguapac, Erwin Padilla, accused of hindering the investigation of the ghost items case. By determination of the judge, Padilla is under house arrest, arraigo and must pay a bail of Bs 100 thousand.
On Friday, January 21, in an expanded board meeting, the Santa Cruz civic entity called on the population to defend to Calvo before his possible apprehension in the Prosecutor’s Office, after he appears to testify.
While on Tuesday they have scheduled a march, at 6:00 p.m., in support of the Santa Cruz institutions, which will depart from the Plaza del Estudiante to the Plaza 24 de Septiembre.
The political scientist Paúl Coca considers that, despite the attacks against the Santa Cruz civic institutions, the Committee for Santa Cruz maintains the power to call and a clear example is the success obtained in the last strikes, in which the civic leader, Rómulo Calvo, had the ability to ally himself with two sectors very close to the ruling party, such as the carriers and the trade unionists.
“The civic groups have more calls than the opposition parties. Although Calvo’s leadership must be differentiated from his predecessor and his current governor, Luis Fernando Camacho, with the 21-day strike, with his actions that led to the resignation of Evo Morales and that the MAS calls a coup d’état, he transcended borders, but they are different situations, “said Coca.
He considers that Calvo has an arduous job in the face of antagonistic positions with the Arce government, so his fight is just beginning with the latent danger of possible arrest. Coke He asks if Calvo has enough energy to continue facing these accusations.
For his part, the political scientist Paúl Artunduaga expressed that, without a doubt, civic institutions is a benchmark for the mobilizations of Santa Cruz, but considers that their leader fell into the game of masismo.
Artunduaga considers that Calvo is in a process of wear and tear, as the masismo wanted, so as a strengthening strategy, civic institutions must open up with the active participation of young people of the citadels of the Santa Cruz capital and the provinces.
“You must break that selective circle that the Committee has, otherwise, you may lose your call, because, for example, this Monday there will be people outside the Prosecutor’s Office supporting Calvo, but not en masse. and that is what the civic must look for”, he declared.
Along these lines, the analyst Esperanza Ribera said that it is vital that the Committee for Santa Cruz take drastic measures in the face of any attempt by the MAS government to hit the Santa Cruz institutions.
Ribera sees that Calvo is in a complicated situation, so he suggests taking action in conjunction with the National Civic Movement, to stop the Government’s intentions to destroy the leadership of Bolivian institutionsas is the case of the arrest of Marco Pumari, “who is unfairly detained for an unfounded accusation, since it was not proven that he had burned the Electoral Court of Potosí.”
The expert observes a very rocky path since, at the moment, there is a weak leadership to confront the government apparatus, such as the imposition of laws that violate the fundamental rights of citizens.
