Santiago. - The controversial priest Rogelio Cruz yesterday joined those who oppose the Interior and Police Ministry’s measure aimed at banning civilians from carrying guns during the holidays, and urged disregard for the official measure.
He said it should be done only if Franklin Almeyda agrees to dispense with his bulky escort. “Only thus does the request have validity.”
He said he supports TV producer and humorist Freddy Beras Goico, and that he’ll collaborate in any type of initiative against the disarmament.
The prelate spoke together with representatives of popular organizations to demand to the police to desist from what they say is persecution against them, and asked the Government to look for crime’s causes in the nation’s economic, social and moral crises.
