The new director is Jesús Fernando Matías González, who replaces Nery Ronaldo Cabrera García, dismissed for alleged acts of corruption, although the MSPAS did not provide specific details about the case.
According to a worker who preferred to remain anonymous for security reasons, the dismissal of the previous director was due to fraudulent actions during his administration.
