Luis de la Fuente does not do flattery when it comes to imposing his decisions or defending his convictions. He may appear calm and flexible in most of his statements, but he possesses a strong personality that does not hesitate to confront when he feels there has been an overstep or an attempt to cast doubt on his choices.
