Arce Zaconeta regretted “deeply what happened today in Peru” and that the high-level mission of the OAS that he was in that country to analyze the political crisis “has not given the expected result once again.”

According to the ambassador, what happened leaves two issues to analyze, one of which is that there was a “constant conspiracy” and “rejection of a government of popular extraction.”

“It is not the first time and we hope it will be the last in which a popular government, an indigenous government, a government drawn from the healthiest sectors of the nationality of a country is profoundly rejected by the political order, by the established order and its constant overthrow is sought”he opined.

“The interruption of a constitutional order, of a democratic order, of the rule of law, of the republican institutional framework cannot be justified under any circumstances and what we have experienced today has simply been an act contrary to democracy and the law,” express.

The Bolivian Foreign Ministry expressed on its social networks “its deep concern about the situation of political crisis that affects” Peru and made a call “to all political actors to guarantee democratic principles, constitutional order and the rule of law.”
