Bolivia expels a Vox deputy after his support for a detained opponent

MADRID, 5 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Government of Bolivia has expelled Vox deputy Víctor González Coello from Portugal, preventing him from entering the country for three years, for "acts of interference" after showing his support for an opposition leader.

"Already sitting inside the plane, two agents have very correctly informed me that I am expelled from Bolivia," González indicated through a message on his Twitter profile in which he has attached the notification to leave the country.

The deputy has criticized that Bolivia joins Cuba and Nicaragua, since the three countries would have denied him entry. Likewise, he has considered that, if this action "serves for (the Bolivian president) Luis Arce to have mercy on (the governor of Santa Cruz) Luis Fernando Camacho, he is welcome."

González was in Bolivia to denounce the arrest of Camacho, investigated in the 'coup d'état I' case, accused of participating in the 2019 political crisis that led to the departure of Evo Morales from the country's Presidency.

The Bolivian Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Freddy Mamani, has pointed out that the Spanish legislator, together with his Chilean colleague Luis Fernando Sánchez, made "politics in Bolivia" by interfering in the country's internal affairs at the time they questioned the investigation against the governor of the country's capital.

Mamani added that both González and Sánchez "did a political job of generating violence in the country," according to statements collected by the Bolivian news agency ABI.

The resolution indicates that González's publications "make political propaganda to discredit the current national government," adding that they "disturb public order" and "incite confrontation between citizens."
