"Today we are in front of the Ministry of the Interior to make us heard and to sound an alarm; there are many things to be solved within the Ministry of the Interior, things that have been brought to the attention of the ministry's management, and unfortunately things are moving on very, very slowly. We're talking about resetting the entire system so we can provide our citizens with quality services."
