In Bolwart for allegedly leaving office, for not informing the Council of Ministers or Congress of the surgical procedure he underwent in 2023.

In the same vein, he rejected constitutional complaint Congresswoman Margo Palacios “with complete ease” brought against the head of state an alleged violation of the Constitution due to his absence from office and the creation of a power vacuum.

“There was, and it must be said frankly, a rush on the part of the Prosecutor General.

Expanding news.

“I see us drowning in a glass of water and creating a storm where there is none and, from my point of view, stepping on the heels of certain sectors that want to destabilize the government,” he said.

Ernest Blume was not against the duty of the heads of state to report on medical interventions to which they obey “if you want to have more zeal for presidential actions.”

“It might be a good initiative to establish the provision that in some cases (the president) should be responsible,” he commented.

“I agree on the issue of transparency, but we have to polish as we go any situation that may have arisen; But let’s no longer turn the president into a kind of scapegoat or piñata that we beat for a whole week and then ask the public what they think,” he said.
