No Impunity For The Coup Perpetrators, Bolivian Minister Says
On Thursday, Bolivia’s Presidency Minister Maria-Nela Prada said that there will be no impunity for those who committed crimes during the U.S.-backed coup against President Evo Morales in 2019.
"I want to state clearly and firmly that there will be no amnesty. In Bolivia, there are no political prisoners. The people know who the perpetrators of crimes against democracy are," she said.
On Wednesday, the Civic Committee Pro Santa Cruz President Romulo Calvo said that Bolivia’s President Luis Arce has until Feb. 25 to decree amnesties for alleged political prisoners, including the Santa Cruz Governor Fernando Camacho, who was arrested for supporting the 2019 coup and bribing military and police.
"Calvo must stop using such political speeches to camouflage his coup intentions, which seek democracy destabilization. He has to accept the popular vote and the legitimacy of our government, which responds to the interests of the people and not those of the political elites," Prada stated.
