“Rodrigo Pena approached Governor Claudio Castro with aggressive and extremely insulting language, while he was calmly walking with his wife Annalyn through the reserved area of Roque in Rio. His tongue rolled and he started uttering profanities. To prove his lack of tact, Pena boasts on his social networks about the crimes and says he is proud to have spit on the governor’s jacket. The incident in question is an offensive, disrespectful and disgusting insult to the governor and his wife, as it would be to any citizen. Contrary to what Pena has stated, there was no aggression by the security forces.“
