The director denounced that the blockade carried out by the protesters violate “the basic constitutional rights of freedom, health care, free movement, work and commerce, among many others”.
Therefore, it demanded that Justice summon the driver of the company “El Quiaqueño”, who contacted SAME and requested assistance, to provide statements regarding what happened. He also considered it pertinent that the SAME paramedics who helped the victim give testimony.
Finally, it requested that “the necessary means be arbitrated in order to establish those responsible for the reported event.”
