“Balancing the judgments is something that this generation is learning,” said the president of the Chamber, Vlado Mirosevic, about the perception that people have regarding “the 30 years.” In that sense, he added that “governing is difficult now, imagine at that time,” asking for respect for the political leaders who “confronted Pinochet face to face.”
The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Vlado Mirosevic (PL), assured that President Boric’s generation has learned to issue “more balanced” judgments with respect to previous administrations.
“I think you have to be more balanced to make judgments. Regarding the age of 30, for example, at times very harsh, very harsh judgments were made”pointed out in the program CNN Zero Tolerance.
In this sense, he added that “now that we are the Government, not at the critical moment that another generation had to govern, where the threat of the military was there, Pinochet was Commander in Chief, today one begins to say ‘shoot , governing is difficult now, imagine at that time “”.
Therefore, he assured that “balancing judgments is something this generation is learning.”
Mirosevic: “I respect the generation that faced Pinochet”
It should be remembered that some government authorities have experienced controversy over their statements on the transition. However, Gabriel Boric left this situation behind last Wednesday, when inaugurated the statue of former president Aylwin in front of La Moneda.
“If ever the Cariola, Jackson, Vallejo, Boric of the current generation are remembered as today Aylwin, Frei, Leighton, Tomic, Fuentealba are remembered, without a doubt we will have fulfilled our mission”assured the Mandatory on that occasion.
Mirosevic complemented this Sunday that “We can have criticisms of the transition, and I have them too, but first we owe respect to the generation that faced Pinochet face to face, because they risked their lives.”
“I have young children and I ask myself the question, reading books and talking with people from the generation that fought against the dictatorship, about how difficult it must have been to face a cruel and bloody dictatorship like the one we had,” he said.
Finally, he stated that “I was at the tribute to Mr. Patricio Aylwin and I want to say the following: with the lights and shadows, those who returned democracy to Chile deserve all our respect and we have to pay tribute not only to Patricio Aylwin, but to all of them.”
