Daughter of Áñez: I am worried about my mother’s health 1:20 (CNN Spanish) — The president of the First Anti-Corruption Court of Sentencing of La Paz, Germán Ramos, decided to postpone the trial for the “Coup d’etat II” case, because the former interim president of Bolivia, Jeanine Áñez, suffered a decompensation while following the details virtually from the Miraflores prison, where she has been held for more than a year. For more than six hours, the trial hearing against Áñez was held. In it, topics such as the complaint filed by her defense before the Plurinational Constitutional Court to challenge the resolution of a previous unconstitutionality action, which the Constitutional Court rejected, were discussed and analyzed. Thus, the hearing proceeded. Likewise, Judge Germán Ramos rejected the request of the defense of Jeanine Áñez, who requested that the former president assume her defense in person. Hours before the trial began, the State Attorney General, Juan Lanchipa, anticipated that the prosecution will request 15 years in prison for Áñez for the crimes of breach of duties and resolutions contrary to the Constitution and the laws. The Prosecutor’s Office accuses Áñez of having assumed, allegedly irregularly, the presidency of Bolivia in 2019, in the midst of the social and political crisis that the country experienced. His defense ensures that the trial is illegal and violates the constitutional rights of Jeanine Áñez. According to her lawyers, she would have assumed the presidency in compliance with the rules of constitutional succession after the resignation and subsequent departure from the country of former President Evo Morales, in addition to the resignation of the presidents of the chambers of deputies and senators of the Legislative Assembly, who They left a power vacuum in the country.
