The main pieces of the accusation are two statements by Camacho himself, which even reached social networks. In one, he presumes that his father, an important businessman, was the one who "arranged with the police" their support for the uprising against Morales. In another, issued immediately after the president's resignation, he calls for him to be replaced by a "civic-military junta." At the time, he was the president of the Santa Cruz Civic Committee, Many did not believe that the government of Luis Arce would dare to enforce the arrest warrant issued by the prosecution against a politician who in March 2021 was elected with 55% of the vote as governor of the richest region of the country; someone who also represents the Cruceña identity (“camba”), currently the strongest and most mobilized of national identities.
But President Arce, who locals and strangers have south africa phone number list despised as a "bureaucrat" and even as a "simple cashier" of the country -for having been his Economy Minister for almost the entire period of Morales- gave a new sample that he does not lack character . In addition, it is known that those who occupy the pinnacle of power grow in projection, especially in a strongly presidential country like Bolivia. It is assumed that if Arce decided to act now it was to gain positions in the "cold war" that is taking place between him and the leader of his party, ex-president Evo Morales.
He had criticized him for not being tough enough with "the coup right wing" led by Camacho. The internal division of the MAS has intensified in recent months. Before the arrest, Morales tried to show the government – although not yet personally Arce – as a traitor to the "process of change" that the indigenous politician began at the beginning of the century. President Arce, for his part, had stopped attending party events. What happened will not solve the internal problems, but it will give Arce more air. Among front-line politicians, Morales was the slowest to speak out on Camacho's arrest.
