OPINION – Cowardly exit, muddied reputation

The circumstances in which the current attorney general of the Nation leaves office have generated suspicions. Nobody expected his resignation, when high-profile cases, such as Odebrecht, New Business, FCC, etc., are about to come to the courts of justice. His resignation is inexplicable. While he did very little for these cases, he should at least have the dignity of trying to get out the front door and not the back door, as he is doing. That is cowardly. The way he leaves office muddies not just what remains of his name, but his reputation and career. He still has time to explain the real reasons for his resignation and inform us of the status of all these cases, as something must have happened to them during his tenure. In the meantime, this attorney has been a complete disappointment and this is the direct responsibility of the President of the Republic and his ministers. We expect good sense and more common sense in the next appointment. – LA PRENSA, Feb. 26
