The president highlighted the attitude of Perez in his Twitter account, who gave her bronze medal to the Mexican athlete who won it in the competition, but could not get it, because a rule of the event states that three people from the same country can not occupy the podium.

“In San Salvador there are no enemies facing each other, the great Central American family that we are competes. Bravo congresswoman!”, highlighted the president on Twitter.

Last Sunday, the Cuban finished in fourth place in the 10-meter air pistol modality, behind the Mexicans Andrea Ibarra, Alejandra Zavala and Alejandra Cervantes, who were first, second and third in that order.

However, due to the controversial rules of the event, the bronze of the competition was given to the Cuban, who did not agree with that decision and returned it to Cervantes.
