La Paz, August 30 (RHC)-- Bolivia has denounced that the report of the Organization of American States (OAS), presented in November 2019, does not respond to an audit because a review of the 35,000 minutes was not carried out, so the regional body would have breached, in this way, the previous bilateral agreement.

The denunciation was made by Attorney General Wilfredo Chávez who, on behalf of the Bolivian Government, ratified its request to the Organization of American States (OAS) to recount the minutes of the October 2019 elections.

According to Chávez, the regional organization will receive a report demonstrating that its experts never audited the official tallying system, so they did not evidence any fraud in those elections either, he declared.

According to the prosecutor, the organization also breached an agreement signed with Bolivia by submitting a preliminary report on an unagreed date, instead of a final one, as well as violating any supposed audit protocol.

The prosecutor emphasized that the State Comptroller's Office made this technical pronouncement at the request of the Legislative Assembly to evaluate if the document presented by the OAS corresponded to an audit, if it complied with national and international parameters and, therefore, with the agreement signed between the State Chancellery and the international organization.

In 2019, the presentation of that preliminary OAS report on alleged fraud was manipulated by the Bolivian opposition and its media allies to support the coup that overthrew constitutional president Evo Morales, Chavez recalled.
