The director of the INE says that today’s march in Santa Cruz is based on lies

The director of the National Institute of Statistics (INE), Humberto Arandia, affirms that the march called for today at 5:00 p.m. by the Commission for the Promotion of the Census in Santa Cruz is “based on lies” and “double speeches.” Qualified the rector of the University Autonomous Rene Moreno (UAGRM), Vicente Cuellar, and the president of the Departmental AssemblyZvonko Matkovic, as people with “double standard”.

The Santa Cruz institutions convened this citizen demonstration to require the INE to provide a detailed report on the activities pre-census

“This afternoon’s mobilization is based on a set of lies that can be discarded and demonstrated very easily. All the information they require has been delivered and it can be accessed on our website and it has been presented in socialization not only in Santa Cruz, (because) we do not see specific interests of a group or city,” Arandia clarified in a telephone contact with EL DEBER.

The departmental assemblywoman Paola Aguirre pointed out that they sent several letters to the INE and also requests for a meeting with the director, which would not have been attended. Arandia denied it and points out that the answers were sent.

“The answer has been that, go to the INE page to review the information. They do not respect the Santa Cruz institutionalitythey do not comply with the duties that are inherent to their position”, the legislator claimed yesterday.

The vice president of the Committee for Santa Cruz, Fernando Larach, said that there is also a lack of respect from the Ministry of Planning by not providing the information and not responding to the call of the authorities to explain what the progress of the census is.

“The sole purpose is to demand information, what activities were carried out in this pre-census stage”, assured the rector of the Santa Cruz University, Vicente Cuéllar.

Arandia ratified the interest and obligation of the INE to hold departmental meetings with all sectors of society, an example of this are the meetings in Tarija and today in the city of La Paz. Likewise, he reiterated the request not to politicize the census and announced that other meetings will be held in Santa Cruz, open to the population usually.
