The SS of course have responded negatively to this, but the SS have for a long time loathed El Diablo even more so than his party leader Jimmy. El Diablo is seen by many SS as a traitor as he failed as Emperor when appointed by Ronald in the late 2090s. Diablo's rivalry with MBH (whom most SS regard as a demi-god) has also soured their opinion of the new Consul.
MBH has said that the SS guarantees Dino security and must be left alone to perform its duties.
