STATEMENTS BY THE MINISTER OF GOVERNMENT OF BOLIVIA, EDUARDO DEL CASTILLO.

Our statement is informative, to testify not of the whole cabinet, obviously, but the ministers that have participated, what we have evidenced, we have been able to detect some elements and mainly from the Security area. The Minister of Defense who is in charge of the Armed Forces and the person in charge of the Bolivian police have passed us a questionnaire that our Vice Minister has. Here is our questionnaire that we have already submitted, if I am not mistaken, more than a week ago and I have also asked my Vice Minister and the General Commander of the Bolivian Police to give their statements. The President, the Vice President and three ministers have already filed their statements. Any person of the Executive Branch who is summoned to testify, we will testifyy as many times as it corresponds. We have a lot of information and we hope that until Wednesday we will meet our deadlines that we are setting and we will be able to tell everything that is happening, everything that we have found. We cannot give you all the information as I am stating now for legal reasons. There are things that we have to reserve, as an ace up our sleeve for the oral trial that will have to take a couple of months.
