While she did show up for meetings with a transition team in the week of December 20th, persistent reports say she has not been in office so far this year - and is not expected to be there either.

Reports suggest that what was shared during the orientation meetings with a transition team - did not sit well with the Dra. Guerra - and she did not feel comfortable taking over the ministry.

Also, she was taking over from another Dra. - Deysi Mendez who had an acrimonious departure from the Ministry in November. Reliable reports tell 7News that her departure was cemented after a case of serious verbal abuse - and actions perceived as physical threats were allegedly directed against her by a politically connected person.

These are what the prime minister later described as "personality differences" leading to her departure.
