Rolando Mirones , Minister of Public Security, will have to appear shortly before the plenary session of the  National Assembly to answer 15 questions related to the crime surge since he took office the migratory flow seizures and the Safe Neighborhoods program. 

Mirones was cited by the deputies of the Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) bench. The citation proposal was submitted by the PRD  Zulay Rodríguez. 

"Considering the functions foreseen in the law for the position you occupy and the crime rates that have increased exponentially during your first 30 days of management, could you indicate the following? What policies and actions of protection, security, and crime prevention have you established to date or will set in the future? ", is the first question.

Among other questions, the deputies want to know the administrative measures taken by the Government to reduce the delay in the process of arms renewal; if with the ban on weapons they have managed to lower crime rates with firearms in the country;  and the policies that they will implement in the face of the "migration crisis".
