Confusing incident between anti-corruption czar and journalist JC Cajar

A confused incident happened Wednesday night between the administering Authority Transparency and Access to Information (Antai), Angelica Maytín, and journalist Juan Carlos Cajar that led the woman to denounce the communicator in the Assistant Prosecutor of the Republic.

Maytín told TVN Channel 2 television that was in a clinic for kids when a "citizen" took note of her location, which alerted the officer, after her fiance received threats in which he was warned that he was in danger.

"My bodyguard tells me he did not like the attitude of the person who thought he was taking note of the plate of the car. In a clinic where are children. And I note that happen again, the subject had moved and entered to a restaurant. Because he was on civil, he can not ask 'give me your ID', the man is called Juan Carlos Cajar", Maytín told the TV station.

He said that Cajar identified himself as a journalist and social networking to recall the case of Gucci (the mascot a former deputy minister who resigned), although Maytín said that no one is entitled to record to minors without parental consent.

He added that instruction came to the office to file a formal complaint because he received telephone threats.

"I'm not doing anything illegal, I am fulfilling my duties as a mother, that can never be compared to walk a dog," he said.

"I have total functional to take my daughter to the place it takes prerogative, I have the same prerogatives of a minister, I have two weeks going to that place and he already knew; that's called harassment," he said.

Horror movie

However, the social communicator, in a telephone conversation with Panama America, said Maytín he mounted a "horror film".

Cajar refused to be related to the alleged threats received by the anti-corruption czar and denied he made any videotape or photographs.

Cajar also went to TVN to ask reply and said he was outside the room where he works and he noticed that an official car with two bodyguards Institutional Protection Service (SPI) stopped.

He said that it is still essentially journalist and noted the fact, and SPI looked at him with a "fairly aggressive" attitude.

He said he crossed in front of a restaurant located in the street Eric del Valle, he entered and then a SPI was to request personal information.

Cajar said he did not take pictures because his mobile phone was uncharged and showed it to a member of SPI and another agent of the National Police (PN).

"My family has been very affected, my children and my wife, with this situation," he said.

The journalist said he never harassed Maytín and is available to the Deputy Attorney General of the Republic.

Gucci

• El poder de las redes sociales como Twitter, Facebook e Instagram quedó demostrado hace poco con el caso de la exviceministra de Desarrollo Social Zulema Sucre.

• La ex número dos del Mides fue acusada por sus antiguos escoltas de obligarlos a pasear a su mascota Gucci, una perrita de raza Yorkshire terrier, en horas laborales. La exfuncionaria de jerarquía negó los hechos y acusó a sus exescoltas de promocionar una campaña en su contra. Posteriormente a la publicación de los hechos en los diversos medios de comunicación social, las redes sociales se hicieron sentir con cientos de memes, mensajes, solicitudes de destitución, investigación, apoyos e insultos. A pesar de que había una investigación a lo interno y una denuncia penal contra Sucre, el jefe del Ejecutivo, Juan Carlos Varela, le pidió que pusiera su puesto a disposición y finalmente la funcionaria de jerarquía renunció el martes al cargo.
