Ex-president Mauricio Macri has "roundly” denied the affirmations of the Bolivian government that his administration sent lethal ammunition to repress the followers of Evo Morales in 2019.
The Juntos por el Cambio leader, currently in Switzerland, hit back via social networks after Bolivian Foreign Minister Rogelio Mayta alleged the previous Thursday that Argentina had delivered "lethal ammunition" to the Bolivian military to repress social protests in November, 2019.
Mayta released a copy of a letter sent by then-Bolivian Air Force chief-of-staff Gonzalo Terceros to then-Argentina’s ambassador in La Paz, Normando Álvarez García, thanking him for the reception of "40,000 cartridges AT 12/70 (of rifle ammunition)" plus 100 tear gas canisters.
Terceros and his naval colleague Gonzalo Jarjuri were arrested last weekend and are being investigated for the incidents of 2019.
