La Paz, August 30 (RHC)-- "OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro should be tried for his criminal role in the 2019 coup d'état in Bolivia," Bolivian political analyst Carlos Santa María said.
In an interview granted to HispanTV, Santa María addressed the strategies that can be applied against the secretary general of the Organization of American States (OAS) for his interventionist role, particularly for his participation in the coup d'état in Bolivia in 2019, since, contrary to his announcement on electoral fraud, the reports of the organization itself do not say the same.
"It could join several sovereign nations, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and others" to offer "the clear vision that there is an international criminal and that he must be questioned and tried" in order to hold him accountable "for this crime against humanity," the expert emphasized.
He recalled that Almagro is a man who is accused of repression, coup d'état, murder and corruption, among other accusations, which shows his criminality, since the OAS itself must denounce him.
Furthermore, he added, it is essential to "send all these documents to the International Criminal Court (ICC)" and "insist on another organization different from the Organization of American States."
Bolivian Foreign Minister Rogelio Mayta denounced again this Sunday the interventionist role of the OAS and blamed the Secretary General of the organization himself for plotting with the opposition to carry out the coup.
The Andean country's attorney general's office says it has documents revealing that the OAS did not even carry out the audit for the votes in the 2019 Bolivian presidential elections, as it had agreed with the then government.
Such facts led to a coup d'état in Bolivia that forced then president and candidate, Evo Morales, in whose judgment the OAS secretary general is nothing but an "imperialist coup agent."
