“Today that situation (of arrest) was reversed, but the other measures are maintained; I have to go to the prosecutor’s office every week to sign and I am rooted, but from today I will have the opportunity to go out to work after 7:00 p.m., because the problems in Santa Cruz do not stop and I must monitor if possible until the early morning hours, “said the councilor to the media.
