Former Bolivian President Evo Morales criticized the government of Luis Arce this Monday, stating that it has established "state terrorism." These statements arose after the detention of Judge Lilian Moreno, who last week had annulled an arrest warrant against her in a case of aggravated human trafficking.
Morales expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation, pointing out that the detention of the judge is a clear example of the abuse of power by the government in Bolivia. According to him, these actions represent a clear demonstration of how state power is being used to intimidate those who disagree with current policies.
The detention of Judge Lilian Moreno has generated great controversy in the country, with both supporters and opponents of the measure. While some view it as an act of justice against corruption, others see it as an attack on the independence of the judiciary. In this regard, Evo Morales has been one of the most prominent critics of this action, labeling it as a step towards "state terrorism."
In one of his statements, Morales expressed: "We cannot allow the fundamental rights of citizens to continue to be violated in Bolivia. The detention of the judge is a clear example of how power is being used arbitrarily and persecutorially." These statements have ignited the debate on respect for the rule of law in the Andean country and have called into question the independence of the judicial system under the current government.
