I write to you to officially lodge a complaint against Luis Fernando del Rincón anchor and producer of “Conclusiones” CNN based in Atlanta.

On 10 November 2019, due to a coup d'état president Evo Morales president of Bolivia was forced to resign, on 12 November 2019 Jeanine Áñez, assumed the role of presidency.

In recent weeks, Mr. Rincón has been conducting a series of interviews with various political figures sympathetic to the Áñez Government about the political crisis. In these interviews, Mr. Rincón has been giving political advice and expresses his frustrations against the government for not using  the army against the barricade made by Social Organizations demanding elections and the immediate resignation of Áñez.

He also confirms that he had been collecting data from videos sent by the Ministry of Government of Bolivia, thus violating the ethics and standards of journalism:

Truthfulness.  Mr. Rincón affirms that the barricade prevented vehicles with oxygen from passing, FALSE, all medical care vehicles were allowed to pass, this information can be easily verified through Facebook videos, TV Gigavision, Kawsachun Coca Radio and TV Soberania Radio. Bolivian Government currently controls all the main media.

Accuracy. Mr. Rincón bases his comments on unilateral communication he maintains with the Government of Bolivia, completely ignoring the leaders of the social organizations and their demands.

To make matters worse, he refers to the protesters as "Cocaleros". INACCURATE. The protesters are conform by different Social Organizations, the Central Obrera Boliviana, Miners, Women's groups, Farmers, Students, Vendors, Artists, etc.

Impartiality. Mr. Rincón is clearly very fan of the "de facto" Government of Áñez, the Kochala Youth Resistance and the Civicos (groups directly related to the government, heavily armed and protected by the National Police). UNFAIR. Mr. Rincon shouldn’t express his personal political inclinations while conducting an interview in such a delicate issue.

Public accountability. Mr. Rincon is not part of the Government of Bolivia in any shape or form to give them political advices and warnings. VERY IRRESPONSABLE.Obviously, he is not familiar with the corruption and perpetual rights violations by the Bolivian government against its people.

And finally the most important principle is the "Limitation of harm" which is the ultimate goal.

For all the reasons mentioned above I appeal to the sense of respect and experience you Institution possess to hold Mr. Rincon accountable for his divergent view and radical comments that may help to drive my country to a genocide. Thank you.
