“Nor do we want to install a state of siege, simply and simply, the conditions with due prudence and also due discretion so that we can be in normal conditions,” he said at a press conference. He rejected that the security strategy be modified.
“Until now we have had this extraordinary event and in the year we have had a strategy that has worked very well… we believe it continues to work… an act of war did not occur,” he stressed.
The local president explained that a minor was injured in the state but this was not related to the acts of violence, since it was in another community, at a different time, he said.
“Yes, there is a 14-year-old boy injured in the abdomen, he underwent surgery and is now in intensive care. He is a child from the community of Paredones. He is treated and is in the General Hospital, ”he confirmed.
The injured and affected will be supported in their heritage
Rocha Moya, emanating from the Morena party, indicated that all those people who were injured as a result of these acts of violence will be supported, for which he ordered that if there are still people in that condition, they should take them to hospitals where they will be duly treated.
“There was a time when armed people arrived at the hospitals to try to take the doctors and nurses… they were very besieged in order to take the doctors, fortunately, this did not prosper, they gave up this attempt… we took measures and we avoided it immediately,” he said.
To those who suffered damage to their assets or lost their cars during the violent acts, as in the case of the community of Jesús María, the epicenter of the acts of violence, he told them that they must go to present the corresponding complaint. “We are going to help them,” he noted.
