Lines before, Barrios expressed his concern about the political crisis in which we constantly find ourselves.
“We express our deep concern about the persistence of the political crisis in our country, whose dimensions put democratic institutions, good governance, the fundamental rights of people and the country’s economic progress at serious risk,” he said.

- The guarantee of democratic governance
- Strengthening the fight against corruption and the justice system.
