Evo and MAS hardliners speak of "traitors"; Cuellar activates denunciations

 The deputy will file a criminal complaint today against his colleague Héctor Arce for "discrimination and racism" and will challenge his expulsion from MAS at the TSE.

The former President Evo Morales and the hard line of the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) from the Chapare region are making the discourse that in the blue party there is no division, but there are traitors, in allusion to the Santa Cruz Congressman Rolando Cuellar.

In response, the alluded demanded to present proofs and announced that today he will activate the accusations against his detractors.

"In the MAS there is no division, what there is is betrayal. From the first moment, there has always been betrayal, (...) one thing is division, another thing is betrayal", insisted Morales in his program "Evo is people, leader of the humble" of the coca growers' radio station Kawsachun Coca.

In this line, Senator Leonardo Loza, who accompanied him in the radio program, emphasized the idea that there are "traitors" in the blue party and assured that the MAS "will never" be divided.

"It is not (strange) that some useful to the right speak badly of Evo, speak badly of the tropic, invent speeches to try to fragment us (...) We are not divided and we will never be divided. There will be traitors who will sell out, who will go like chitacos behind the great oppressors, but the people, under the leadership of our brother Evo, we are going to continue united", Loza stressed. Both avoided mentioning Cuellar's name.

Last week, the MAS disciplinary commission announced the expulsion of Deputy Cuellar, who leads the renovating current in the ruling party. The legislator from Santa Cruz is asking, together with the Eastern Block which brings together several social organizations, for the renewal of the national directive of his party through a congress.

The initiative annoyed the national leadership, which did not hesitate to submit him to an internal process and threaten to take away his seat in the Legislative.

In response, Cuellar asked Morales and Loza to say with "name and surname" and prove their accusations, if they do not, they are simply defaming.

The legislator announced that this Monday morning he will activate the criminal complaint against his colleague Héctor Arce and will also file a complaint with the Ethics Commission for having called him "scabies", he will also challenge his expulsion before the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE).

"I am filing before the Supreme Electoral Tribunal an appeal that interposes nullity to the illegal resolution issued by the non-existent (disciplinary) tribunal. I am also formalizing a criminal complaint to Congressman Héctor Arce for discrimination and racism", detailed Cuéllar.

Another resource he announced he will present before the TSE is "an action of compliance so that the electoral entity audits the MAS statute, when the current national leadership was elected and when its term ended", requesting the compliance of the Political Parties Law and exhorting the MAS to convene a national congress of the MAS as soon as possible.

In this scenario, MAS senator Félix Ajpi, who is also representative of the intercultural people of the north of La Paz, emphasized that MAS is not divided, only that there are some divergent ideas to the national leadership, but that this cannot be considered as treason. 

"There was no betrayal from any of them, neither from comrade Angelica (Ponce) nor from congressman Rolando (Cuellar). Surely comrade Evo and Senator Loza have understood this way, but I believe that there is no betrayal, perhaps they are obstinate ideas of comrade Rolando, but I do not see it as betrayal", said Ajpi to Página Siete.
