“It is important to note that since November 2020, Luis Fernando Camacho Vaca has been subpoenaed to make a statement in the Coup d’Etat I case, which investigates the crimes of terrorism and conspiracy that occurred as part of the coup d’état that happened in 2019 ‘ the document says.
The text recalls that the governor of Santa Cruz, protected by a court order in the maximum security prison of Chonchocoro since Friday, led violent marches and blockades and was subsequently responsible for the mutiny of military and police commanders.
Similarly, the organization, which brings together progressive leaders from Ibero-Latin American countries, expressed concern over calls for civil disobedience by Santa Cruz power groups last Wednesday, which disrupted the operations of Viru Viru and El Trompillo airports, leading 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 conducted peacefully and with respect for the law, “exactly what Camacho Vaca failed to do with his coup behavior.”
Camacho was arrested on December 28 and taken into custody at dawn this Friday by Sergio Pacheco, the eighth criminal investigation judge at the La Paz Department of Justice, who ordered his four-month preventive detention.
The former head of the Santa Cruz Civic Committee faces charges in the Coup I case over the October and November 2019 mobilizations and because, according to his public confession in a video, his father, José Luis Camacho Parada, was “closed” with the police and military, to facilitate the breach of the constitutional order and access to the presidency of then Senator Jeanine Áñez.
As a result of these illegal acts, a de facto government was installed (2019-2020), whose repression of those who protested in defense of the democratic order provoked the massacres of Sacaba and Senkata, which left 38 dead and hundreds injured and thousands of human rights violations.
