During the commission's debate, Assemblywoman Sofía Sánchez (PK) raised the need to request an international oversight of the investigation process. Faced with this request, the legislator Paola Cabezas (UNES) questioned that the presence of an oversight will delay the work because it would have to wait for the institution to send overseers to start the process. Sánchez changed his approach to invite international observers, in order to make this investigation process more transparent.
