El opositor Luis Fernando Camacho fue excarcelado en Bolivia y anunció que vuelve al poder en Santa Cruz de la Sierra: «¡Ya estamos de ida!»
El líder opositor y gobernador suspendido de Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Luis Fernando Camacho (46), fue excarcelado este viernes en Bolivia tras permanecer en prisión preventiva casi tres años por su presunta participación en las protestas de 2019 que precipitaron la renuncia del entonces presidente Evo Morales.
La salida de la prisión cercana a La Paz se produjo luego de que el Tribunal Supremo de Justicia ordenó esta semana que se le revoque el arresto preventivo y se le otorgue la detención domiciliaria con derecho a trabajar. Por esa razón, Camacho retorna a la región de Santa Cruz, donde su defensa adelantó que retomará sus funciones.
A su salida del penal, el dirigente opositor abrazó a los policías del penal de Chonchocoro y caminó flanqueado por familiares y abogados. Lo hizo con su banda de gobernador en el pecho y una bandera verde y blanca de su región.
Se subió a un auto y se fue al aeropuerto de El Alto, donde tomó un vuelo privado para ir a Santa Cruz. Remarcó que asumirá funciones una vez pise suelo de su región, donde sus partidarios le preparan una festiva bienvenida en las calles de la ciudad.
“Como decía (Nelson) Mandela, en la cárcel se descubre uno mismo, analiza los errores que cometió y valora mejor a la gente», dijo Camacho a su salida. “Jamás me arrodillé y dije siempre que voy a salir por la puerta grande, nunca negociando mi libertad. No pude ver crecer a mi hijo pero fue mi compromiso con Dios y con mi familia”.
«El mejor vengador es Dios, no tengo odio, ni rencor, la cárcel fortaleció mis convicciones. No voy a huir del país”, agregó Camacho, que afronta un proceso por presunta sedición después de liderar las protestas en 2019 que precipitaron la renuncia de Morales (2006-2019), luego de las denuncias por presunto fraude en los comicios de ese año en los que buscaba un nuevo mandato.
Además, enfrenta otro juicio por haber encabezado, tras ser elegido gobernador de Santa Cruz, protestas durante 36 días en contra del gobierno del presidente Luis Arce para exigir que realizara un nuevo censo de población. Estos procesos seguirán mientras cumple arresto domiciliario, aunque podrá salir a realizar sus labores, según dictaminó el juez en La Paz.
El Tribunal Supremo de Justicia ordenó esta semana que se revoque también el arresto preventivo de la expresidenta interina Jeanine Áñez (2019-2020) y del dirigente cívico Marco Antonio Pumari por haberse excedido el plazo de esa medida. Los tres están acusados en el contexto de las protestas de 2019 que dejaron al menos 37 muertos y forzaron la renuncia de Morales.
La libertad de Áñez tomaría más tiempo ya que la Justicia debe anular varios procesos en curso en la vía ordinaria para que se inicie en libertad un juicio político reservado a exmandatarios en el ejercicio del cargo, explicó su abogado defensor Luis Guillén.
Áñez participa el viernes de una audiencia virtual por la muerte de manifestantes en la que está procesada por presunto genocidio. La exmandataria lleva cuatro años y cinco meses detenida en un penal común de La Paz condenada a 10 años por «incumplimiento de deberes y resoluciones contrarias a la constitución» por la sesión parlamentaria en la que asumió el cargo siendo senadora opositora tras la renuncia de Morales.
La Corte Suprema debe analizar un pedido de «revisión extraordinaria de sentencia» para que el juicio «se reencause por la vía que corresponde, un juicio de responsabilidades», destacó Guillén. Después de ese pronunciamiento, que no tiene plazo, Añez podría salir libre.
La fiscalía alega que el mandato de Áñez fue «ilegal» y producto de un «golpe de Estado». La oposición sostiene que las protestas de 2019 fueron una «rebelión contra el fraude».
Amnistía Internacional y la Organización de los Estados Americanos (OEA) dijeron que los juicios en contra de los tres tienen motivaciones políticas y que no se respetó el debido proceso.
La decisión de la Justicia se da tras las elecciones del 17 de agosto que marcaron un giro político luego de la derrota del izquierdista Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) de Morales y Arce, que gobernó por casi 20 años la nación andina.

Trump cabinet shakeup expands after Noem exit, Bondi firing — who’s under pressure next?
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Kristi Noem is gone from the Department of Homeland Security and Pam Bondi is out the door at the Justice Department.
It’s not unusual for a president to shake up the cabinet ahead of crucial elections.
And that appears to be the case right now for President Donald Trump, who’s saddled with underwater approval ratings and an unpopular war ahead of this year’s crucial midterm elections, when Republicans are working to hold onto their slim House and Senate majorities.
The big question going forward: Who may be next on Trump’s chopping block.
PAM BONDI ALREADY FIRED AS ATTORNEY GENERAL, CABINET OFFICIAL TEED UP AS REPLACEMENT: SOURCES
U.S. President Donald Trump, accompanied by FBI Director Kash Patel, U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Sen. Bill Hagerty, speak during an event to sign a memorandum to send federal resources to Memphis, Tennessee, for a surge against local crime, in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, D.C., Sept. 15, 2025.

The White House is pushing back against reporting that other cabinet secretaries may soon be given pink slips. But it’s worth noting that Trump announced in a social media post that he was letting Bondi go hours after media reports first crossed that the attorney general’s job was in jeopardy.
Here’s a look at three cabinet members that media reports suggest could possibly be in the president’s crosshairs.
Tulsi Gabbard
The director of national intelligence may have earned Trump’s ire by failing to condemn former counterterrorism chief Joe Kent after his abrupt exit from the administration last month after criticizing the president’s move to strike Iran.
Gabbard, a former Democrat who unsuccessfully ran for her party’s 2020 presidential nomination before crossing over and supporting Trump in the 2024 election and a military veteran who deployed to the Iraq War two decades ago, has not been as vocally supportive of the current conflict with Iran as others in the cabinet.

In backing Gabbard, Trump last weekend pointed to her stance on Iran and said, «I think she’s probably a little bit softer on that issue, but that’s okay.»
Pushing back forcefully against speculation that Gabbard may be next to go, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung on Thursday said, «President Trump has total confidence in Director Gabbard, and any insinuation otherwise is totally fake news.»
«The President has assembled the most talented and impactful Cabinet ever, and they have collectively delivered historic victories on behalf of the American people.,» Cheung touted.
Lori Chavez-DeRemer

The resignation of some of her top aides has not helped matters.
Howard Lutnick
The president’s commerce secretary is a longtime Trump ally.
But there’s speculation Lutnick may be on thin ice after admitting in February he traveled with his family to Jeffrey Epstein’s private Caribbean island in 2012, four years after Epstein was convicted of child sex trafficking.

Lutnick previously denied having any relationship with Epstein and stated that he «barely had anything to do with that person.»
The White House is denying that either Lutnick or Chavez-DeRemer are in hot water.
«Secretaries Chavez-DeRemer and Lutnick are both doing a great job standing up for American workers, and they continue to have President Trump’s full support,» White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News.

But a source in the president’s political orbit didn’t rule out further changes in Trump’s cabinet.
«The president is reshaping his team and his message is clear: loyalty is expected but performance is mandatory,» the source told Fox News.

Holocaust survivor, 86, priced out of NYC says Mamdani skipped scheduled housing meeting
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As a toddler, Sami Steigmann survived Nazi medical experimentation. Now, at 86, he is struggling to find safe housing in New York City.
His situation comes as New York City residents face rising housing costs, despite campaign promises from city leaders to improve affordability
Steigmann, who has called New York City home since the 1980s, can no longer safely navigate his second-story apartment in Harlem. Earlier this year, he asked to have a one-on-one meeting with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who ran on a platform centered on lowering housing costs. Although the meeting was scheduled, Steigmann says the 34-year-old mayor never kept the appointment.
«Promises made, not kept,» Steigmann told Fox News Digital. «His claim to fame was affordable housing. I’m not disappointed because I didn’t expect him to keep his word. It is what it is.»
DEMS WHO RAN ON AFFORDABILITY NOW FACE BACKLASH AS COSTS CLIMB

«It would have been nice, but you know politicians,» he said with a smile.
He added that he was no longer interested in meeting with Mamdani.
Mamdani’s office did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
For now, Steigmann said his focus is on finding a safe place to live as New York City’s costs continue to climb.
«New York is the most expensive city in the country, especially for independent living. Rent is about $6,000 a month for a one-bedroom apartment,» he said.
Steigmann, who lives on a fixed income of $1,649 per month, said he cannot afford an apartment that is both safe and accessible to public transportation.
The physical toll of his current living situation has only added to the challenge.
Born in 1939 in Romania, Steigmann was deported with his parents to a Nazi labor camp at about age 2. Too young to work, he was subjected to medical experimentation for at least three years before the camp was liberated.
«I was subjected to medical experiments, so I’m in pain every single second, but I learned to live with it. Now, because of my age, 86, I have difficulty walking and climbing stairs,» he said.
While relocating to a more affordable city may seem like an option, he said leaving New York is not a simple decision.
«I did not give it serious thought because here I have agencies that are helping me,» he said. «I don’t know what it would be like in other cities because I don’t have those connections there.»

«I’m very safe here,» Steigmann said of his neighborhood, adding that his neighbors know him and watch his back.
He said a nursing home is a last resort he hopes to avoid.
«If I’m going to a nursing home, which I may have to go to if I cannot find something, basically, it’s the way to die because there is no life there.»
«It’s not for me. I’m still active. I don’t need assisted living in the sense that I can take a bath by myself. I can still do a lot of things,» he said.
Now, advocates are stepping in to help.
The Chicago Jewish Alliance recently launched «Project Ahava,» a fundraising initiative aimed at securing safe, stable housing for Steigmann as he struggles to remain independent in New York City.
Facing a roughly $2,200 monthly shortfall, the initiative aims to raise $132,000 to cover five years of housing. The group has so far raised about $18,000 for Steigmann.
«Sami has never asked for a dime, and he has given back to so many people. That’s just another reason why we wanted to give back to him and make sure that he has safe housing,» Susan Haggard, president of the Chicago Jewish Alliance, told Fox News Digital.
«And it’s important for him to stay in Manhattan where he is close to public transportation and still have that independence that is so important to him,» she added.
Maintaining that independence is key to his daily work and outreach.

He spends his days volunteering aboard the aircraft carrier Intrepid, docked in New York City’s harbor, and speaking to school groups across the country about the Holocaust — a mission that has come to define his life.
«This is my life. Without it, there’s nothing for me, no reason to live,» he said.
