The confrontation between a general and a private forces the armed forces and the PN to open an investigation

The director of the #National #Police (PN), #Major #General #Edward Sánchez #González, reported that a mixed commission composed of members of that institution and the #Ministry of #Defense was created to investigate the incident that occurred between an agent of the #General #Directorate of #Traffic #Safety and #Land #Transportation (#Digesett) and a general.

The announcement was made during a press conference at the #National #Palace, where #González pointed out that the commission was created to handle the situation and issue the corresponding report in due time.

The director of the PN stated that the #Minister of #Defense, #Lieutenant #General #Carlos #Luciano Díaz #Morfa, appointed the #Inspector #General of the #Armed #Forces, #Major #General #José #Manuel #Castillo #Castillo, and that the #Police also appointed his #Inspector #General.

#Yesterday the director of the #Digesett, #General #Ramón #Antonio #Guzmán #Peralta, also reported on the investigation and said that he will wait for the results.

The incident
The incident occurred on #Pedro #Henríquez #Ureña street with Máximo Gómez avenue and has been disseminated by social networks and traditional press media.

#It is observed when #General #José #Manuel #Frías #Rodríguez incriminates two #Digesett agents for not paying him honors when they inspect his vehicle, parked on a section of the #National #District bike path, an area in which parking is prohibited.

#In a video broadcast on social networks, #Frías #Rodríguez is shown demanding “respect” for the #Digesett agents and that they put themselves in a position of “attention” due to their rank. “Pay attention #Amet, pay attention #Amet, but what is this?”, The officer is heard saying to one of the agents in a defiant attitude.

Then the other agent arrives to mediate the situation, and the general tells him: “He has to pay attention and respectfully say sir, identify yourself, hey. #When I identify myself, he has to greet me like a general and then tell me ‘#Commander, you can’t stand there.’
