A video circulating on social media shows a man, identified as the security guard of national deputy Esteban Samaniego (ANR-HC), punching and kicking another driver Saturday night in Colonia Fulgencio Yegros, district of Quyquyhó, Department of Paraguarí. The incident reportedly began after a slight collision between vehicles.
In the images, Deputy Samaniego appears trying to restrain his employee, before leaving the scene with the others present. The police, through the 8th Police Station of Fulgencio Yegros, reported that, so far, none of those involved have gone to the station to file a report.
The episode occurs two months after Samaniego was involved in a confrontation in the Chamber of Deputies plenary, when he got up from his seat and went to the bench of opposition deputy Raúl Benítez, amid a discussion about the speaker list.
