Transversal condemnation provoked a controversial sexual performance with a Chilean flag in a closing act of Approvebo Transformar in Valparaíso. From various sectors they criticized the act, while parliamentarians demand legal action.
Controversy caused in social networks a closing act of Approve Transformar in Valparaíso, which promoted the mayor of the commune Jorge Sharp and the ex-conventional Alejandra Pérez, Manuel Woldarsky and Tania Madariaga.
At the close of the event in Plaza Victoria, and as it was spread on social networks, the group “Las Indetectables” made a questionable performance of sexual connotation with a Chilean flag.
After the performance, the journalist Alejandra Valle, who animated the event, indicated “the Rejection bots went crazy, let’s send them a greeting for the Las Indetectables show (…) they find it difficult to understand anything that is not literal”.
One of the first to react was former presidential candidate José Antonio Kast, who stated on his Twitter account that “The Approval of Valparaíso, led by Mayor Jorge Sharp, invites families to abort Chile and dishonor our national flag. The Legacy of the Convention”.
In the thread, he added that “I hope that the Ombudsman and the Undersecretary for Children take steps to keep children safe who witnessed this brutal act.”
From Approve Transformar they distanced themselves from the performance and emphasized that they are in “totally disagree” with the use of the Chilean flag.
The production of the event such as the artists’ grid was carried out by production collaborators. We totally disagree with the use of the flag they made. We condemn this fact that does not represent us at all and that also occurred in the middle of a family activity

For her part, the Ombudsman for Children, Patricia Muñoz, pointed out that “the approval performance is inadmissible, with boys and girls in that place, really the level does not even allow the images to be disseminated, which We will denounce so that the commission of the crime of indecent offenses is investigated.“.
The deputy for the People’s Party, Gaspar Rivas, demanded that the Minister of the Interior, Izkia Siches, is sued for outrage against the national flag.
“The outrage to which our national symbol was subjected today in Valparaíso is unacceptable and although the sixth article of the State Internal Security Law establishes that public outrage against the national flag constitutes a crime against public order; Unfortunately, article 26 of said legal body, provides that only the Ministry of the Interior may make the complaint or file a complaint for such an illegal act,” he said in a statement.
Likewise, more parliamentarians joined the reactions against the performance of Las Indetectables with the Chilean flag.
Freedom of expression does not authorize the offense against children and adolescents; nor to the patriotic symbols. My most categorical condemnation of what happened in the act in Valparaíso
