The regional authority also believed that the departure of the former undersecretary was late. “He should have resigned the next day, the day he didn’t show up for work, because he couldn’t show up for work because of the state he was in,” she said.
The mayor of Providencia, Evelyn Mattheicriticized this Saturday the work of the former undersecretary Manuel Monsalve for his work on security issues. This, after he was reported for the crime of rape.
In the midst of an activity for the upcoming elections on October 26 and 27, the communal authority maintained that a while ago “This Government’s security teams are not giving their all.” And he added that “there are many measures that, if implemented, would have prevented many deaths.”
In that sense, referring to the days of National Holidays, he said that “we have seen with astonishment that on the weekend where we had the most victims, where we had the most homicides, “The security person, instead of being concerned about security, was drinking pisco sour and then engaging in activities that, finally, led him to be accused of a crime.”. During holidays and celebrations, there were 37 homicides recorded in the country.
Asked if Monsalve should have resigned before Thursday, Matthei responded that “he should have been asked immediately (to resign). Furthermore, he should have resigned the next day, the day he did not show up for work, because he could not show up for work due to the state he was in, then he should have resigned.” “I just want to point out that this has to be taken to the final consequences,” he added.
Likewise, the mayor pointed out that “the fight against crime is also a fight against time and now it has been shown that, indeed, those who were in charge of security have not given the width. And this is very, very serious, and I also believe that the Government’s words have left much more doubts than surprises.”
