- What happened on December15th?
"I walked to my car and was on my way to my house in a place where taxis are parked. It was then that Pedro Gomez, National Party activist, vice president of the Association of Taxi Interdepartmental Points of Honduras and close friend of the mayor of the capital, Ricardo Antonio Alvarez, and candidate for deputy Blas Ramos, recognized me and began to insult me because of being of the Resistance.
Suddenlya taxi in the street blocked my way to not let me through and Pedro Gomez approached my vehicle, he hit me on the face and pulled a revolver to shoot.
Fortunately other taxi drivers intervened and blocked it, while I took advantage of the confusion to get out of my car and head towards policemen who were nearby. The police intervened and arrested him. Gomez, however, immediately called the Mayor and when I arrived at the police station found the candidate for deputy Blas Ramos talking with prosecutors to have him released. And he did. Virtually rejected the accusation of attempted murder and was only referred to the courts for illegal carrying of weapons. I have no doubt that in the initial hearing will be definitively dismissed Gomez.
- How do you evaluate this episode?
"It's part of a real offensive against the Resistance, and they are using the same methodology of the '80s. The day Walter Tróchez was murdered many bodies throughout the city appeared, and this is exactly as it was in those years, ie, killed common criminals to assassinate members of popular movements, disguising these political murders as if they were criminal cases. They want the people to become accustomed to these facts, to not realize that it is exerting a systematic repression against members of the Resistance.

"After this episode, are you taking some measure of security?
"Everybody knows me and knows where I live. I thought it is better to not hide or fail to do my job because that is how I survive with my family. Also, for me the work that led me to the front of Lawyers Against the Coup is fundamental and I can not give up that fight. However, if something happened to me I blame this coup system and the Mayor Ricardo Antonio Alvarez, who has made real persecution squads against members of the Resistance.
