The objective of the investigations is to know what were the purposes of the war munitions that the government of Jeannine Áñez received from Ecuador in November 2019, according to the Minister of the Government of Bolivia, Eduardo del Castillo.
“We have seen that the Ecuadorian government has lent tear gas to the Áñez government and we have information that they had also provided munitions of war,” he said.
He mentioned that it will be the investigations that determine if this material has been acquired regularly or irregularly.
In addition, they will analyze whether Ecuador’s legal regulations allowed former President Lenín Moreno to take out war weapons and deliver them to another country.
The loan of this material would be confirmed with a letter of May 2020 in which Ecuador asks for its return.
According to a report by the Ecuadorian National Police, sent to the defense attaché of the Bolivian Embassy, the institution would have delivered more than 5,000 grenades and 2,000 projectiles for the repression by Áñez, in the protests of November 2019.
