President-elect Luis Arce was attacked with dynamite

President-elect Luis Arce was attacked with dynamite while he was in a meeting at the MAS’ headquarters in La Paz city.

The spokesman for the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS), Sebastián Michel, denounced this Thursday an attack against the president-elect Luis Arce when an explosive exploded at the house of the political group in the Sopocachi neighborhood of La Paz.

According to the spokesman for the political group, the attack was perpetrated by a group of people who detonated a device with dynamite when a meeting was held in which the president-elect Luis Arce participated, according to a press release from the political party.

“A few minutes ago we were victims of an attack by a group that left a dynamite puppy in the tent where our own President-elect Luis Arce was meeting. We are very concerned about what is happening, “said the representative in an interview with Televisión Universitaria and Red Uno.

Sebastián Michel regretted that the authorities in charge of the country’s security do not pronounce on the matter and do not provide the necessary security and even more so to an authority that was elected by the majority of the Bolivian people.

“We have not seen any statement on the subject of the Minister of Government Arturo Murillo, so we feel that we are at the mercy of ourselves, totally unprotected and no one gives us the necessary guarantee for the security of our authority,” he added.

The MAS representative pointed out that the attack is part of the climate of violence promoted by sectors of the right after the electoral victory of Luis Arce.

Michel specified that at the time of the attack there were people in charge of monitoring information and of the commission that works on the act of possession.

The official act of possession is scheduled for Sunday, November 8, at the Bolivian Legislature, which would end almost a year of de facto dictatorship headed by Jeanine Áñez.
