“At the moment he offers me the position, the president offers me support for my management and independence in the exercise of the position, and that has not been fulfilled. It has not supported my management in the face of this crisis and, faced with this situation, I had no other way than to resign, because my presence is a stumbling block for the solution of a problem that is above us, such as the Police, which is essential for the fight against crime,” he declared.
