🇧🇴💥⚖️🚩— SANTA CRUZ: Luis Fernando Camacho has enacted a law that allows him to remain in office despite being in prison; the governor of Santa Cruz will be able to govern from jail after the Legislative Assembly approves the norm, contrary to the partial impositions of the Federal Government of Bolivia
The legal adviser to the Government of Santa Cruz, Efraín Suárez, went to the maximum security prison of Chonchocoro, in the Sierra de la Paz, where Camacho is as a political prisoner, to deliver a regional law approved last weekend by the Legislative Assembly of that region.
“The law establishes the mechanisms that determine when the temporary absence in the city of Santa Cruz is activated, so that the government replacement can take place", he explained.
He added that the norm stipulates that in the "preventive detention of Governor there is no temporary absence", and “the political rights of a person are not suspended”, so Camacho will be able to govern from the jail.
