" Based on the public reaction of the Community of Political Reporters today, on an incident that happened in the courtyard of the building where the parliamentary sessions are held, the Guard of the Republic asks for the understanding of the media and the public as a whole, if due to the strict implementation of the measures for the security and smooth running of the works in the Assembly, they may have become an obstacle in an unwanted way for the fulfillment of their duties and mission. In the analysis of the situation created today, the leaders of the Guard have drawn the attention of the Services near the Parliament, to avoid similar incidents.
