politician Paraguay

Carlos Benítez is the commander of the Policía Nacional, known for his controversial statements regarding gender representation within the police force. In a recent news article, he acknowledged that although some women met the necessary requirements to join the police academy, they were not admitted due to what he described as a need for 'proportionality of crime and delinquency,' suggesting that more male officers are needed to address rising crime rates. His comments have sparked discussions about gender equity in law enforcement and raised questions about potential discrimination in the recruitment process.
