Glauco Montero Osinaga resigns as Santa Cruz Contraloría manager

Glauco Montero Osinaga has submitted his irrevocable resignation as the departmental manager of the Contraloría General del Estado in Santa Cruz. In a letter addressed to the agency's highest authority, Montero stated that he no longer possesses the necessary conditions to perform his duties with the required independence and tranquility due to external pressures.

Montero linked these pressures to a complaint filed by the Comité pro Santa Cruz and the technical assistance his office provided to the Santa Cruz Governorate and the municipalities of Santa Cruz de la Sierra and Cotoca. He noted that government control work can cause discomfort when it affects private interests.

While Montero cited these power dynamics as the reason for his departure, he did not publicly identify the specific individuals or institutions responsible for the pressure, nor did he detail the exact actions taken against him. His resignation aims to preserve institutional integrity and prevent external influences from affecting the Contraloría's operations.
