We were able to observe several people at various tables inside, I proceeded to record from the outside and one of the managers, seen in the videos circulating on the networks, proceeded to try to take my cell phone from me, pushed me, threatened me, I had to request support from the Police, they would not let me leave the site, the Police arrived, at the time of requesting the documents they refused to deliver them, the summons for the Municipality was left under the door since they did not even want to receive us later , Vieira detailed.

The representative of Bella Vista, Ricardo "Ricky" Domínguez, indicated that taking photographs and videos is part of the functions that they must perform as evidence and part of the record, and he hopes that the corresponding authorities will impose the fine that is required in this case.

The official Cristian Vieira from the Communal Board was threatened by some people who appear in the video that they wanted to take away his cell phone, where they would not let him take photos that is part of his functions, take photos as a sign that they were In breach of the rule that they could not attend the place, the official is making a report of everything he saw, with details, with a photo, the video to then give it to the Municipality of Panama and the Ministry of Health so that they can take the measures they have to drink and hopefully they will be fined, said Domínguez.
