Puerto Rico Education Department (DE) Secretary Eliezer Ramos Parés said there will be consequences for officials involved in taking four students to a New Progressive Party (PNP) political activity in Camuy, where Carolina District Senator Héctor Joaquín Sánchez was present. The principal and the counselor at the Segunda Unidad Belén Blanco de Zequeira school in Loíza are being investigated for allegedly intervening in the matter.
The situation has so far led to two lawsuits over events that allegedly occurred before and on the day of the event. Ramos Parés said he would limit himself to noting that processes are underway. Speaking on the program Pega’os en la Mañana, he said the investigation is "extremely advanced, I would tell you practically finished," and that the work now centers on the report.
He said consequences will be set according to each person’s participation and noncompliance with the Department’s norms and regulations for students’ extracurricular activities. A related report says an attorney denied the existence of a chat between the minors and Sánchez.
