On Saturday, 25 May, Mayra García Álvarez was detained on the corner of her house when she was on her way to the municipality of Perico in order to participate in a meeting with opposition. García Álvarez was detained by a secret police officer called María Carla who told her: "I am really sorry, but you cannot leave from here". García Álvarez replied that in that case she should better call a patrol car because her house is not a prison cell. She was then driven to the police station located in the Hospital of Mario Muñoz de Colón. García Álvarez was released at 1 pm.
