[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=3) And I understand they had requested the information through the public information access system. [0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=7) That's right. But in any case, since you're a public official, you're also required to answer the public's questions. [0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=13) We want to know specifically what your duties are. [0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=16) I'm just on the clock. Yes. Sure, but just as other officials are also on the clock, they can also do this, answering questions from the public, not the press, from the public. [0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=27) What are your duties? What do you do here in the Chamber of Deputies? [0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=32) And right now I'm very busy, as you can see. [0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=35) Yes, we could talk more later, no problem. [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=38) The thing is, we tried to contact you several times. [0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=41) It was very difficult. We just want to understand how someone can go from earning six million guaraníes to eighteen million guaraníes. [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=52) And I’m fulfilling my duties now, you know, if… please. [1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=60) But how do you explain it? Was this thanks to your father, the influence he might have had? [1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=65) No, honestly, no. I have a position of trust that Congressman Alatorre gave me. [1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=72) I’m carrying out my duties. Um, in any parliament, anywhere in the world, everyone has positions of trust at their disposal, as we do here in Paraguay, as anywhere in the world. [1:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=84) What qualifications do you have to earn eighteen million guaraníes? [1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=88) And you can find it under access to public information. [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=90) You'll have all the information you need. [1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=93) I am a professional, and you'll find all the information there. [1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=97) And I would love for you to have it in writing so nothing I say can be misinterpreted. [1:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=102) What did you graduate with? You said you're a professional. [1:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=104) What did you graduate with? We couldn't find a record in the Ministry of Education, that's the only reason we're asking. [1:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=110) Uh, I want to keep working, please. It's a simple question: what did you graduate with? [1:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=113) You'll find everything you need through access to public information. There is nothing on the official portals. [1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=117) I'd love for you to ha— I'd love for you to have everything in writing, really, so there's no misunderstanding. But did you graduate from university? [2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/wa4P3owTN77U/en/paraguayan-congressional-staffer-questioned-about-salary-and-duties?t=124) Thank you.
