Bolivia blocked entry to a group of Argentines seeking to document protests, citing inconsistencies in their migration documents. The deported group included deputy Juan Marino.
Argentine chancellor Pablo Quirno stated that Bolivian authorities exercised their right of admission after detecting discrepancies between the purpose declared on migration forms and the group's public intentions. The delegation, which called itself the International Humanitarian Human Rights Mission and included legislator Vanina Biasi, failed to meet requirements under Bolivian law.
Quirno clarified that the Argentine government respected Bolivia's sovereign faculties and activated the embassy and consulates in La Paz and Santa Cruz de la Sierra to monitor the deportation process. Bolivian leaders such as senator Tomasa Yarhui accused the group of political interference, while deputy Alejandro Reyes called for an investigation into the trip's financing and possible links to Evo Morales.
