"I think that having lost so many things, this is one more blow that he receives, in his mentality, he may not consider it as the most important, but I believe that over the years this will remain as a totally negative mark" 2. "That they involved me more than a year after the incident happened and that until then my name had not appeared at all in the investigation, and that was an idea that pleased then President Evo Morales because he was a fan Che Guevara and all that history, so there was also a certain Cuban influence in this matter, which is why I was involved in an event in which I had nothing to do with, I had three hours in which I could give a class and then they also authorized me so that I could go out on Sunday for an hour to go to mass, but it cost paperwork, special hearings, opposition from prosecutors ... it was a way of humiliating me and constantly running over me"3. "During this period I suffered two great losses, first, one of my children died and it was very difficult for me to get permission to go to his funeral, then my brother died and the same thing happened"4. "It was a direct action of the government on the judges, on the prosecutors"5. "Indeed, for us it was a relief to feel that this risk was taken off, that the trial should continue because what they wanted was to end it at once and condemn us to 10 years, 20 years in jail to scare everyone else"6. "My wife, my other children, my daughters, everyone has been constantly on the look of this, and giving me the strength and courage to get ahead"7. "I told them to have some kind of conviction, that they will never bend us, and that became our reason for being, and we always repeat it that way and we believe that we have given an example to Santa Cruz and Bolivia about not giving in when there is an irregularity, and we hope that these actions will never be repeated "8. "First of all, to extend my lecture hours at the university because I can teach more now, also to meet again with my groups of friends and military comrades and enjoy more family for the remaining years"
