The lawyer Rodrigo Román, one of the representatives of Héctor Llaitul, accused that the statements of his peer, John Maulén, regarding a CAM statement that would reveal the group’s communications with the Government, were taken out of context. In this line, he pointed to a political advantage in the face of the constitutional plebiscite.
Héctor Llaitul’s lawyer, Rodrigo Román, came out to clarify the statements of his peer, John Maulén, accusing that what he reported was biased regarding a statement that the Arauco Malleco Coordinator (CAM) would publish about the communications between the organization and the Government.
It was this Tuesday that Maulén, in an interview with ADN Radio, announced that the CAM would make a statement and a complaint detailing “every communication that took place with the Government.”
By that, he was referring not only to the talks or attempts by the government of Gabriel Boric, but also by Sebastián Piñera and Michelle Bachelet.
After a hectic day, where different authorities expressed their opinion and denied any rapprochement with the CAM spokespersonLlaitul’s own defense came out to clarify the situation.
This Tuesday, in conversation with Radio Universidad de Chile, Román accused to ADN Radio of biasing the statements of his colleague.
“The background that I have after having talked with my client Héctor Llaitul and with my colleague John Maulén, is that the quotation marks made by the half-DNA do so by biasing Maulén’s sayings,” he said.
For Román, his peer realized that as a technical defense they were aware, through the words of his client, “that the CAM was going to issue a statement fundamentally denouncing the entire dirty defamation campaign against him”.
“They are trying to get (political) credit”
“Regarding the links that the CAM or Héctor Llaitul would have had with political authorities, it is an issue that we as technical defense are not responsible for,” said Román.
Along these lines, he linked the “inverted commas” of Maulén’s sayings, with a political advantage in the face of the constitutional plebiscite.
– “There is an inverted commas in the sayings of lawyer John Maulén that rather correspond to the political moment in the run-up to the constitutional plebiscite, which is why here the different options, I Approve and Reject, are trying to get credit and get votes with respect to of an issue that has no relation, “he accused.
His argument ended it, assuring that Llaitul “is a political prisoner of the current moment”.
