“It is important to note that, since November 2020, Luis Fernando Camacho Vaca was summoned to make a statement in the Coup d’état case, which investigates the crimes of terrorism and conspiracy that arose in the framework of the coup d’état that occurred in 2019”, states the document.
The text recalls that the governor of Santa Cruz, protected since this Friday by a judicial order in the high security prison of Chonchocoro, led violent marches and blockades and was then responsible for the mutiny of military and police commanders.
Similarly, the entity that brings together progressive leaders from Ibero-Latin American countries expressed concern about the calls for civil disobedience by power groups from Santa Cruz that last Wednesday affected the operations of the Viru Viru and El Trompillo airports, and led to the burning of several public institutions.
The Puebla group reiterated its support for social protest as a legitimate form of democratic protest, as long as it is carried out peacefully and with respect for the laws, “precisely what Camacho Vaca did not do with his coup behavior”.
Apprehended on December 28, Camacho was taken into custody at dawn this Friday by the Eighth Precautionary Criminal Investigation Judge of the Departmental Court of Justice of La Paz, Sergio Pacheco, who ordered his preventive detention for four months.
The former head of the Civic Committee from Santa Cruz is prosecuted in the Coup d’état I case for the mobilizations of October and November 2019, and because according to his public confession in a video, his father, José Luis Camacho Parada, “closed” with the police and military to facilitate the rupture of the constitutional order and the access to the presidency of the then senator Jeanine Áñez.
As a result of these illegal acts, a de facto government was imposed (2019-2020), whose repression against those who protested in defense of the democratic order originated the massacres of Sacaba and Senkata, with a balance of 38 deaths, hundreds of injuries and thousands of violations of the human rights.
