## Transcript

They call Percy Fernandez a hand's on mayor, and this is why, watch this exchange caught on camera between him and a journalist. His hand goes for her thigh, and she struggles to take it off. Percy Fernandez is not just any mayor, the 75 year old is in charge of Santa Cruz, the largest city in Bolivia. His advances with women are apparently not new. Two years ago he was also caught on camera, touching the bottom of his city councils president, twice, and in 2010 at a bridge inspection he forced a kiss upon a female engineer. [ FOREIGN ] On one hand I think it reflects the arrogance of power and on the other hand a lack of control of his own actions, the two things are probably related.

If you think there's no boundaries because you're above good and evil, then you can pull the journalist's leg, or talk with double meaning in front of the camera without shame. In the most recent case, you refused to apologize. But after a public outcry and complaints by the journalist's family, he released this videotaped message. [ FOREIGN ]. I'm worried that I might have disrespected you while you were performing your duties, and I apologize again to you and your dignified family. The journalist's husband accepted the apology. [ FOREIGN ]. We all obviously want Percy Fernandez to stop doing that, because ultimately, he as mayor, is the one who loses the most, but for many, the mayor has not gone far enough.

[ NOISE ] Opposition law maker, Marcelo Revoyo filed a complaint accusing Fernandez of sexual harassment, sexual violence, and discrimination. [ FOREIGN ]. We consider this an expression of violence against all Bolivian women, especially because the mayor's actions have happened before.
