TSJ RESPONDE AL GOBIERNO: “A LOS MAGISTRADOS NOS SOBRA LO QUE A USTEDES LES FALTA”

The president of the Supreme Court of Justice, Rómer Saucedo, escalated his rhetoric against the Executive branch and responded to presidential spokesperson José Luis Gálvez with a phrase that ignited the conflict: “We magistrates have more than enough of what your government lacks.” Speaking from Buena Vista, Saucedo described the demand for a larger budget as “legitimate” and warned that the Judiciary had declared a state of emergency, with a rolling strike looming if there is no response within 20 days. The magistrate denounced that the Justice system received a mere 0.35% of the General State Budget, an amount that doesn't even cover office supplies or outdated computer systems. “Reforms are done with money, not good intentions,” he declared, while demanding an urgent meeting with President Paz, his cabinet, and the Assembly to discuss resources and a package of seven laws. If the dialogue fails, a judicial strike will be inevitable. #TeLoCuentaVictorHugo #Bolivia #paratiiiiiii #viral_viral_viral #FYP
