Mesa: Both Evo and Arce are autocrats and not two Presidents who are fulfilling their mandates
The former President and leader of the Comunidad Ciudadana (Citizen Community – CC), Carlos Mesa, described President Luis Arce and former President Evo Morales as “autocrats”, due to the appointment of authorities in interim State instances.
“Both Evo Morales and Luis Arce are two autocrats and not two Presidents who are fulfilling their constitutional mandates,” Mesa told El Deber Radio this Wednesday morning.
During the interview, the former President mentioned more than a dozen public institutions, whose senior officers are on an interim basis.
He specified that the interim authorities are in the Ombudsman’s Office, the Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB), the Financial System Supervision Authority (ASFI), Bolivian Fiscal Oil Fields (YPFB), the National Tax Service (SIN), among others.
“We are talking about 13 interim appointments and we presented a bill to carry out something that seems obvious that it is compliance with the State Political Constitution,” added the opposition leader. On Monday, Comunidad Ciudadana (CC) presented a bill to regulate interim appointments in State entities, establishing a maximum period of 90 days for public institutions to issue public calls for their new authorities.
