“In addition, what we have had as a reference is that the president for security reasons is wearing a security vest and that prevents him from being able to mobilize and his security environment knows that. It was a courtesy gesture.”he added.
As is recalled, police officers had to tie the shoes of the head of state during his visit to the San Martin region. In the video you can see Castillo Terrones raise your right leg and show your shoe to one of the policemen.
The agent immediately bends down and ties the shoelaces of the president’s right shoe. Seconds later, another cash from the order appeared that ties the pins of the left one.
On the other hand, Chero Medina indicated that it will be the Military House that will have to evaluate the request to deliver the videos from the security cameras of the Government Palacein order to corroborate if it helped to escape to Yenifer Paredessister-in-law of the president.
“It is a procedure that the Military House will have to evaluate, which has to do with those liberalities and restrictions that the law establishes. Let’s not forget that the Organic Law of the Executive Power states that the Government Palace site is inviolable. It will have to be evaluated in that context, the procedure will be evaluated and surely the Military House will give an answer “he underlined.
“We are not saying yes or no, but there is a procedure established by law and it will have to be evaluated by the competent body, which is the Military House, which is designed for those purposes”sentenced.
