Ignacio Soriocó

Ignacio Soriocó is the President of the Municipal Council of San Antonio de Lomerío, who has been vocal in opposing the proposed indigenous autonomy statute. He argues that over 17 of the 29 communities in the municipality have expressed their disapproval of the statute through a resolutive vote, emphasizing the need for a democratic consultation process rather than a simple assembly decision. Soriocó has raised concerns about the legality and legitimacy of the actions taken by former leaders of the Central Indigenous Communities of Lomerío, asserting the necessity for the Tribunal Supremo Electoral to respect the will of the communities and conduct a proper referendum.
