The Ombudsman’s Office spoke out following the viralization of the material and rejected the discriminatory expressions of the official.
A Venezuelan who works as a delivery in Peru was insulted by a police officer from that country, according to a video that has caused a stir and outrage on social networks.
In the audiovisual, the PNP official makes offensive comments, expressing that all Venezuelans who have arrived in the Peruvian nation are to “fuck” the country.
“You have come to screw up the country… You are the ones who give us the most work.” the policeman said.
In the same way, the Ombudsman of Peru spoke following the viral video.
“We reject discriminatory expressions that stigmatize and criminalize foreigners in the country. Given the broadcast of a video in which a police officer on duty can be seen verbally assaulting a migrant, we urge the Peruvian Police to take action,” the agency said on its official Twitter account.
