The president of the Miranda State College of Psychologists, Víctor Hugo Méndez Tovar, sent a communication to Last News, as a reply to the note published in Tuesday’s edition. “Charged with alleged harassment by the president of the College of Psychologists of Miranda”. is the title of the published note.
In this regard, Méndez Tovar clarifies in the communication that his accusation did not take place before the 2nd Control Court of Miranda with jurisdiction over Crimes of Gender Violence.
“The act of imputation was not executed in the city of Los Teques or in any Court of the Republic, it was executed in the presence of my lawyers at the headquarters of the prosecutor’s office, Prosecutor’s Office 133 based in Ferrenquín, Capital District,” says Méndez Tovar. .
Here are other considerations exposed by Méndez Tovar in his communication.
1. The act of imputation has the function of informing a denounced person that an investigation is being established against him and that he has the right to defend himself and expose the elements in his favor in relation to this investigation. It does not imply a definitive act, since this occurs with the conclusive act where the Prosecutor’s Office makes the formal accusation of the accused and this has not happened.
3. In no publication of my personal or institutional accounts on social networks or in the media has mention been made by name and surname, nor has any personal or private data of the complainant been repeatedly or repeatedly exposed. In the publication written by you, it is indicated that the Public Ministry exposed the publications where it allegedly denigrated the complainant. Did you see these posts?
4. As President of the Miranda State College of Psychologists, I am authorized to investigate and denounce any act of professional intrusion and usurpation of functions that threatens the legal practice of psychology. You will be able to verify in my publications against intrusion in my Instagram account @victorhmendezt that in a sober, organized and technical way I explain the dangers of professional intrusion in our discipline, without ever naming or personalizing individuals. A person whose basic career is not psychology, even if they have completed postgraduate studies almost associated with mental health, cannot make diagnoses or express operational and technical information in the media about events associated with mental or behavioral disorders, this if It is illegal. This is expressed by Article 8 of the Law on the Practice of Psychology in Venezuela.
5. It is worrisome that a criminal investigation body such as the Public Prosecutor’s Office investigates a union leader for exercising his functions, indicating the existence of a crime typified in the Organic Law on the Right of Women to a Free Life Violence when it is done that is exposed is the possible execution of the complainant in the exercise of professional intrusion.
