The Government spokesperson minister, Camila Vallejo (PC), responded to the annoyance expressed by pro-government parliamentarians after the reflection formulated by President Gabriel Boric about the role he played in opposition to his predecessor, Sebastian Piñeraand denied that any “form of denialism” existed in his speech.

Within the framework of the state funeral of the deceased right-wing leader, the current President revealed that he acted “always using the mechanisms of democracy and the Constitution,” and in a kind of self-criticism he stated that “as an opposition, in his government, the complaints and recriminations were, at times, beyond what was fair and reasonable.”

“Incompressible,” lashed the deputies Carmen Hertz and Lorena Pizarroalso members of the Communist Party, who affirmed that the former President was “institutionally responsible” for the human rights violations in the social outbreak and described Boric’s words as “a form of denialism”.

“It is well known and known: President Gabriel Boric has never denied or ignored what the reports indicated regarding the human rights violations that occurred within the framework of the outbreak,” Minister Vallejo commented this Sunday, after being consulted regarding the reactions of her co-religionists, clarifying that she had also read criticism from other political voices.

“Never,” he emphasized, stressing that the President has highlighted the documents prepared by international organizations such as the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the IACHR, Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International as inputs “to be able to take charge as a State that they are not repeated and that there is also reparation for the victims.

The spokesperson stressed that “The President has been calling that, in times of so much national upheaval, where we need temperance, work and unity to face emergencies and also citizen urgencies that we cannot ignore, and we do not forget about them, what we require is the climate of unity, of agreements and understandings”.

In this context, he opined that “Sometimes in these contingencies people overinterpret or overreact to speeches; but – he insisted – the President has never ignored or denied what happened.”

“He calls for us, regardless of political differences and cross recriminations, to be able to act with unity, because the country needs it,” concluded the designated “liaison” minister for the disaster zone ravaged by forest fires from Valparaíso. .
