He has insisted that he fulfilled “all the requirements” and regretted that “he still” does not know “the criteria that the Ministry has used so that only ten departments passed”. “We will continue working to have that exam reviewed and we can continue moving forward,” he said.
In this sense, he explained that this Friday he already transferred his request to “know those criteria” to the Ministry and has clarified that “It is not asking for explanations”, but it tries to know “the reasons why it understood that the rest of the departments could not pass” when the Ministry and its technical team believed that they did, in order to “focus on that exam we have” and “put all the effort to be able to reach phase 1 as soon as possible “.
No political reasons

We need our social and economic activity, therefore what we want is to pass it when before, “he stressed, while insisting that for this they have to know if” there is something they have detected “from the Ministry.
