The Council for Transparency expressed its concern about the role of President Gabriel Boric in the campaign ahead of the exit plebiscite. The Executive defended its work, and ruled out links with the Approval command.
During the day on Tuesday, the Palacio de La Moneda arrived at the Council for Transparency (CPLT)regarding an activity that was held with the Government and other entities.
The national prosecutor, Jorge Abbott, was present at the instance; the general director of Carabineros, Ricardo Yáñez, in relation to probity and transparency.
The president of the CPLT, Francisco Leturia, expressed concern about the role of President Gabriel Boric in the campaign ahead of the plebiscite.
As reported by La Radio, Leturia named a minute of the Approval command that was made known by some media, and that would have links with the Executive.
“For example, yesterday a minute from the Approval command came out in a press outlet where it provided a series of things about the President of the Republic, which seem worrying,” said the head of the CPLT.
He also said that “as president of the Council for Transparency, no one minute me (…) and I would like him to clarify it so that we could all be calm, that a command does not have his time.”
It is worth mentioning that this is a minute released by the Ex-Ante media, which shows how the Approval campaign agenda would be linked to the daily agenda displayed by President Boric.
Minister Jackson: “There is no minute”
The Segpres minister, Giorgio Jackson, categorically ruled out that there is a minute in the Government that links them to the Approval.
In addition, he said that if there were any kind of minute, it would be mainly from the commands and not from the Government.
“It will not be a reference, and we give the guarantee because it is part of our work. And if that happens, we can sanction and correct it, but so far we have not had any information that this happens, that from the Government there is a minute that refers to any of the options in particular, “said the Secretary of State.
Jackson stressed that “I emphatically rule it out, there is no type of minute that has made reference to that issue.”
In any case, the concern continues from different sectors, such as the Council for Transparency.
Francisco Leturia referred to the anomalous nature of the current situation, in which there is evidence of a vacuum by not defining an independent body dedicated to informing, beyond the Government.
Likewise, the CPLT representative said that the Executive should be extremely cautious because no one can inform without showing where their heart is, and that can generate permanent institutional damage.
