Initial reports regarding the potential appointment of Minister of the Presidency José Luis Lupo as Bolivia’s representative to the Organization of American States (OAS) were characterized by government spokesperson José Luis Gálvez as “speculation.” At that time, officials noted that no formal request had been submitted to the Legislative Assembly for the required constitutional approval. By mid-August, the situation progressed from rumors to formal legislative action. The President of the Bolivian Senate, Diego Ávila, announced that the Senate would hold a session to vote on the nomination of Lupo as the permanent representative to the OAS. This session also included the consideration of former governor Luis Fernando Camacho for the post of Ambassador to Paraguay. Both nominees had submitted work plans to the International Policy Commission for review prior to the plenary debate. Following these developments, Senate President Diego Ávila addressed legal concerns regarding the appointees, clarifying that the Law of Arraigo 1709 does not apply to either José Luis Lupo or Luis Fernando Camacho. Ávila argued that because the nominees remain public officials in their new diplomatic capacities, preventing them from assuming their posts abroad would be “absurd.”
