Deputies

The former president of the Congress of the Republic, Allan Rodríguez, gave a press conference on March 7 to justify the construction of a hidden room in the presidential room. Within his message he emphasized that one of the uses he gave it when he was in front of the Legislature was to analyze his actions, derived from the “difficult moments” that he experienced when he was in office.

As has been shown in several videos, this room has a thick cover and has several drawers, so Rodríguez responded that its purpose is to store important documents, since the presidential office does not have files or any other space to store them. save documents of officials in management.

“The only files are where the secretaries receive all the information from the presidency, it is necessary to have a place, because it is ugly to receive people with hangers of documents on the desk and that is an old desk that has no space to store documents” , Rodríguez pointed out.

Likewise, he pointed out that this situation could not be understood by a person who was only in office for one day and who has no idea what it is like to be president, referring to his complaint by Deputy Samuel Pérez.
