While Henry Flores, during his campaign, promised Tecleños to restore 71 employees fired from the mayor’s office, in addition to building three parking buildings, improving cultural spaces and the historic center.

In addition, in June 2013 he was captured for allegedly threatening an employee of the National Registry Center.
The case went to court, but Flores did not follow the measures that the court of Quinto de Paz had imposed on the victim. On that occasion, the conciliation with the offended woman failed due to Flores’ non-compliance with the measures dictated by the court.
In October 2019, he was reported by another person for aggravated fraud before the General Prosecutor’s Office.
