“Because I left? Because I firmly believe that our country needs us to meet again. And for several days I have seen that it is very difficult to contribute to this from an executive in a state shirt,” he specified.

Raul Molina revealed that he had made the decision to retire from last Tuesday, January 31, when he participated in meetings with institutions to find solutions to the social upheavals that the country is going through.

Similarly, the former official found it convenient that, given the lack of results from tax investigations, the executive branch should have taken the initiative to create an independent commission to investigate deaths during mobilization in order to give the country a clear answer.

“Perhaps, if we took from the executive branch, as an independent commission, to conduct a prompt investigation into the cases of the deceased and allow us to respond more quickly to the country’s questions. I’m not saying I’m bringing this up because the dead can never be taken off the table, but at least the country could get over this loss with more concrete responses,” he said.
