        Pumari was arrested in December 2021 for crimes related to obstructing the electoral process. @CarwilBJ/1470451346809761801 These videos, which I hadn't previously seen, make that case look very solid.

            I was alerted to these sources by this impressive list on Pumari's trajectory during the 2019 crisis. docs.google.com/document/d/19ewlo3s1z1h1rIkQhZgnItktOssLG-ogq8LMpOjA8Ps/ Gracias, @beabolibre
