He broke the record. Just 8 hours after taking office as Minister of Justice of Paraguay, Édgar Taboada was removed from his post.
Taboada, who took over, at about 8:00 in the morning, as the new Minister of Justice to replace the criticized former State official and pre-candidate for the position of deputy for the department of Caaguazú, Édgar Olmedo, made a serious mistake by authorizing the coffin of the leader of the criminal group Army of the Paraguayan People (EPP), Osvaldo Villalba, was admitted to the El Buen Pastor women’s prison, and thus his sister Carmen Villalba paid tribute to him.
The President of the Republic, Mario Abdo Benítez, who appointed Taboada by Decree No. 8,064, removed him from office in the face of a wave of criticism unleashed by citizens who claimed that the government was giving in to the wishes of drug traffickers.
According to the chief of staff of the Executive Branch, Hernán HuHutteman, the director of El Buen Pastor prison, Marian Vázquez, was also dismissed for complying with the requests of the terrorists’ family.
