One of those instances would be the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR), he said.
Rivera assured that “in Bolivia there is no justice” and that the “organ of justice is subject to political power” for which he valued that “you cannot go to any instance of the State because they are all taken over by the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) “, party of the current president Luis Arce.
“The justice accused and sentenced my mother with abrogated and modified criminal types,” lamented Ribera.
Meanwhile, the opposition National Committee for the Defense of Democracy (Conade), in the voice of one of its members Manuel Moralesassured that they are “taking a series of actions on the street and internationally,” mainly from the European Union (EU), the United Nations (UN) and the Organization of American States (OAS), according to the AFP news agency.
Morales also confirmed demonstrations for June 21 in Cochabamba (center) and, a day later, in Tarija (south), although he demanded a more forceful statement from the opposition from Santa Cruz (east), an opposition region, which has not yet has spoken on the subject.
Meanwhile, the government was partially satisfied with the sentence, although it left open the possibility of appealing it so that it could be raised to 15 years as requested by the Prosecutor’s Office.
“It is a sentence that sets a historical precedent. It is clear that no one can assume the sovereignty of the people or come to power by violating the Constitution and the laws,” The Minister of the Presidency, María Nela Prada, commented on state television.
A court in La Paz found Áñez guilty on Friday night of the crimes of breach of duties and resolutions contrary to the Constitution in the framework of the case known as “Coup d’etat II” that judges the actions of the former president when he was senator and prior to her assumption as de facto president.
The opponent, who will turn 55 on Monday, will complete her sentence in the women’s prison in La Paz, where she has been in preventive detention for 15 months, and will also have to pay an amount not yet specified for damages to the State.
In her final argument, Añez had pleaded not guilty and denounced that the court “excluded” evidence that ruled out an overthrow of Morales in 2019, for which she announced that she would go to international justice.
“I did what I had to do, I assumed the presidency by commitment”, affirmed the opposition, who governed the country between 2019 and 2020, while dozens of protesters outside the jail demanded his sentence.
Former Commander of the Armed Forces William Kalimán and former Police Chief Yuri Calderón, both fugitives, were also sentenced to 10 years for the same crimes.
Justice considers that Áñez reached the presidency unconstitutionally in November 2019 after the forced resignation of Morales, amid massive protests for alleged electoral fraud denounced by the Organization of American States (OAS).
Áñez proclaimed herself interim president in a Senate session without a quorum on November 12, 2019, two days after Morales was forced to resign under pressure from a military rebellion, before going into exile in Mexico and then in Argentina.
