A video was shared by the president of Bolivia, Rodrigo Paz, addressing the scandal surrounding the detention of Argentine political consultant Fernando Cerimedo. The president attempted to distance himself from his former advisor, stating there was no direct work relationship due to a lack of contract. Cerimedo had been part of the president's team during elections and after the start of his term.

The consultant has experience in several right-wing campaigns in Latin America. Analysts consider the president's statement insufficient to resolve the issue. Further details on the situation are available from the source. The president confirmed Cerimedo was part of his team but claimed he never had authorization to represent him.
