Before carrying out the vote, the president of the Justice and Public Security Commission, representative Luis Borjas Romero, pointed out that whoever is elected should meet an appropriate profile and that they will commit to comply with the implementation of the policies of criminal prosecution, an adequate career professional service, internal control bodies and adequate instances that investigate and punish misdemeanors or crimes committed by public servants, among other guarantees.
“For this reason, autonomy cannot be confused with the absence of vigilance, transparency, control mechanisms and accountability,” he said.
