The candidate for the Senate for the Conservative party, Narly Yesenia Bedoya Gallego, It is news in Santa Marta and not precisely because of the political activities that she developed, but because of a scandal that she carried out at the Simón Bolívar airport, where she even ended up handcuffed and sanctioned by the Police.
The incident occurred on Thursday afternoon. It all started when Bedoya refused to pay money that the airline charged him for additional hand luggage that he was carrying.
The candidate for the Senate was excited by not reaching an agreement with the care staff. She then raised her tone of voice in the face of what she considered a “robbery” on the part of Viva Air.
According to Narly Bedoya, the company intended to charge 150 thousand pesos just for a handbag where she carried her personal items.
“It is an abuse of this airline that as users we should not allow,” said the woman, who insisted on boarding the plane by force without paying the additional money.
The Police were present due to the scandal that had been generated in the boarding room, and after several failed attempts to control the claims of the candidate for the Senate, they chose to handcuff her and take her to another area.
But the woman put up resistance and the intervention of several agents was necessary, who took her holding her hands and feet.
When she was notified of an additional cost in her luggage, she was aggressive with the official
Through the corridors of the airport while being transferred, the woman continued to shout so that people would know her disagreement with the airline and at the same time reject the Police procedure.
Finally, a member of the Personería met with Bedoya and received his complaint. The woman, although she was sanctioned with two subpoenas, managed to get the airline to transfer her to Medellin without having to pay any additional money.
The commander of the Metropolitan Police of Santa Marta, Jesús Manuel de Los Reyes, assured that the uniformed officers had to act because “the user, when she was notified of an additional cost in her luggage, was aggressive with the company official.”
According to the officer’s version, the passenger got between the other users and the boarding to prevent entry.
“We tried to dissuade her, but since this was not achieved given the alteration, we proceeded to drive her, handcuff her and take her to the police station,” he explained.
On her Twitter account, the candidate for the Senate argued once again for her behavior: “I do have the petticoats on well to defend what I believe in until the last moment, because I do have the guts to claim and assert my rights.” , he indicated in one of the trills he made due to the scandal that occurred at the air terminal in the capital of Magdalena.
