Bolivian minister for culture threatens journalist

On one of my previous posts about the Aymara collective wedding, I mentioned that the activist/feminist María Galindo had been taken out of the coliseo where the wedding was taking place, by force. The order was given by the Minister for Culture, Elizabeth Salguero, to the police, which seized Galindo as she was interviewing Chibi (not sure of the name and I cannot find it on the internet but he's somehow related to the vice-ministry of decolonization I mentioned on the previous post). Many people witnessed, at least partly, this abusive act. Amongst those witnesses was a journalist, who was later invited by the Minister for Culture. The latter supposedly wanted to impart a scoop to her but her real purpose was different: during the interview they had, Salguero tried to pressure her.
Apparently, what happened was that this journalist had witnessed that Morales, Salguero had seen Galindo's brutal arrest but hadn't done anything (which sounds pretty obvious if they were the ones who'd given the order). Salguero threatened the journalist claiming that, if she stuck to those facts, she would then have to contradict Morales' and hers at court - “tu palabra estará contra la mía y contra la del Presidente”.
The day after, it was all in the news. That was such a silly thing to do.
