In a note of regret, the state deputy, Dr Yglésio, regretted the loss of the member of the PM, highlighting his solidarity to André Felipe’s family.
“It is unacceptable that professionals who dedicate their lives to the protection of the population are subjected to a state of increasing violence, which erodes the sense of security and imposes fear even to those who should be guardians of the order,” said the deputy.
Security forces are mobilized to identify, locate and arrest the perpetrators of the crime.
