Clari Arias and the Caminera inspector. GEN channel capture.
From the Highway Patrol they regretted that acts of corruption are constantly attributed to the institution. The incident recorded this weekend with a driver who tested positive for the alcohol test once again exposed the citizen’s weariness against the Caminera.
This weekend, in the city of Itauguáa man who was traveling as a companion in a vehicle ended up with the broken head as a result of flashlights received from some inspectors of the Caminera.
“The Patrol ‘Coiminera’ lost all respect of the citizenrybecause they dedicate themselves to assaulting the citizenry”, he referred to what happened on journalist Clari Arias in his program on 970 AM and the GEN channel, at the time of an interview Inspector General Adolfo Ortega, head of Public Relations for the Highway Patrol.
In this regard, Ortega immediately exposed his disgust for these expressions. “We are going to do the interview, as long as the institution is respected. I demand that they stop calling the institution as that citizen Clari Arias does. Call the Highway Patrol accordingly. If you have something against the institution, it is surely something personal. Lack of truth when saying that citizens are robbed”, indicated the inspector.
The communicator Arias replied that he understood the discomfort caused by his statements, but that there is overwhelming evidence of the painful performances of the “foxes” of the Caminera on the routes of the country.
In this sense, the uniformed Ortega assured that the press is misrepresenting what happened in Itauguá, by not showing how the whole incident occurred and exposing only the part in which the uniformed officers clubbed the occupants of the intervened vehicle. “We request the collaboration of journalists, that they give the truth of what is happening and that the opinions expressed are responsibly so that they are credible. It looks bad that this journalist talks just to talk and misrepresents the name of an institution, ”he added.
In response, Clari Arias made it clear that from the media the two videos of the event were releasedthus denying that only one version of the story is shown.
“The problem is not yours, it is the body that has the force of law to enforce traffic regulations, but there are precedents. Of course it’s personal, I respect your opinion and education, but I’m not going to stop until you change,” said Arias.
“My criticism stems from satiety. Generalizing is a mistake, there must be some healthy ones, surely the oldest, but all the experiences I saw on the route I can never be on the side of the Caminera. I see that you always have problems with the Highway Patrol. A sample is the assumption drug trafficker murdered on Saturday in a supermarket in Asunción crossed 500 km in a vehicle without a license plate, from Pedro Juan Caballero, and it turns out that no barrier stopped him throughout that journey”, he further stated.
