The Attorney General of the Nation, Luis Carlos Gómez, affirmed that the incident that occurred in front of the Public Ministry headquarters, where two banana heads were left, does not constitute a crime, as long as public order was not altered and security was not put at risk. Gómez explained that the fact was evaluated from a legal point of view and that, after the corresponding analysis, no criminal investigations were opened and no apprehensions were made. He pointed out that not every manifestation, however unusual it may be, automatically fits into a criminal offense. The Prosecutor reiterated that the Public Ministry acts in accordance with the Constitution and the law, and that each case is reviewed according to its circumstances, without subjective interpretations or external pressures. The incident was recorded when a person left two banana heads at the entrance of the Prosecutor's General of the Nation as a symbolic form of protest. The objects were subsequently removed by security personnel, with no damage or risk situations reported.
