The senator Juan Luis Castro (PS) stated that “the cabinet instead of the President coming out to defend and protect him, it should be the cabinet that protects the President“, in reference to the questions to the Minister of Social Development, Giorgio Jackson, and the requests for resignation that he has received from the opposition.
From the ruling party, Senator Castro indicated that the Government “it has still been weak in terms of leadership proactivity, driving from the State of all backgrounds and damage controlwhich particularly has been very weak”.
“Instead of the President coming out to defend and protect the cabinet, the cabinet should be the cabinet that protects the President of the Republic. That is what is meant by a cabinet, but here I see more personal agendas or future candidacies than the protection of President Boric, he is left alone and that is extremely delicate“, lament.
Meanwhile, from the Democratic Revolution (DR), Minister Jackson’s party, deputy Maite Orisini came out to support the Secretary of State and criticized that “It can’t be that I don’t like the minister because, as we read yesterday in some of the media, he was very mateo, he pushed the reduction of the diet and caused many parliamentarians and senators to lower their salaries. These grounds cannot be to delegitimize a minister of State and when the criticisms come from there, the truth is that it seems to me that it is more politicking than real and fundamental political arguments”.
In addition, he stressed that Minister Jackson “he is not thinking of resigning, the President of the Republic, I understand, is not thinking of asking Minister Jackson to resign, nor are we parliamentarians thinking of approving that constitutional accusation. I do not believe that Minister Jackson is going to leave the Government.”
For its part, the opposition is meeting to draft the constitutional accusation once morest Jackson, which is expected to be presented this Monday.
The UDI helmsman, Senator Javier Macayanoted that “we believe that Minister Jackson’s departure alone is not enough to overcome the crisis. We Believe that there must be a profound changean understanding, a capacity to realize”.
“We have a government that has become blind, deaf and dumb facing one of the biggest cases of corruption that has occurred in our country in the last 30 years, and the truth is not with a megaphone at the door of La Moneda that President Boric is going to solve the country’s problems and is going to recover the confidence of Chileans,” he criticized.
