And today the media asked the Minister of Families if she has heard Wendy Auxillou's side of the story. But rather than confirm whether she has spoken with Auxillou, Dolores Balderamos Garcia instead shifted the question to the attorney general and the prime minister, saying that Perez's fate is in their hands.

"It is a matter for the Attorney General's office and I guess we will have to see what the prime minister's decision, ultimately the hat is on his head, they say uneasy lies the head that wears the hat of leadership, I don't want to say the crown because we don't believe in any kind of monarchy in this country but I don't think that there is much more investigation that can be done. Basically, and again I hate to put it on him but it will be a matter for the prime minister, what will happen."
Reporter:
"She said that this review that the Attorney General is conducting is a sham in essence."

"Well you see this is why it is difficult for me to speak to it, this is why it's difficult for me to speak to it, I don't want to get into the details."
Reporter:
"But the behavior of your colleague in parliament, he put out a release and admitted to a whole lot of things."
Dolores Balderamos Garcia
"Again, I believe it would be best for me not to say more."
Auxilou claims that she did speak to Balderamos Garcia about her complaints but decided against a follow up meeting because the Minister had declined her request to attend with an attorney.
