transl: The opinion that the Chancellor Ampuero shares with Mauricio Rojas: “Is a Museum of bad memory”

in the controversy over the sayings of Mauricio Rojas on the Mu SEO’s memory, which ended up triggering his departure from the Ministry of culture, arts and heritage, there is a second involved which so far has been going almost unnoticed.
It’s the Chancellor Roberto Ampuero, the interlocutor of the fleeting Minister Rojas in the “Dialogue of Conversos” book, published by 2015. It is in the pages of that publication where Rojas checks off “mount” to the Museum of memory, sayings that provoked immediate reaction from the world of culture and the opposition that ended up costing him the charge just 4 days of taking it up.
In this dialogue with Ampuero, Rojas based its assessment on the Museum of memory, pointing out that its “purpose, which no doubt accomplished, is to impact the Viewer, leave it stunned, prevented reasoning”.
Before this comment, Ampuero followed a line for anything other than your question contact. “In the design of the Museum there is a bad Narrator, a narrator partisan and interested. In that sense it is not a National Museum, is a Museum of bad memory,”said the author of”Boleros en La Habana”.
Then, Ampuero continued, noting that “I took my children being adolescents to see the Museum, because I wanted that they knew that part of the history of Chile. And at the end after the deep impact that caused them witness testimonies of repression and condemn it. There was a question of both: why Chileans came to hate so much and that no Museum explains it.  “Let me clarify: I am not speaking of justification, but explanation”.
Ampuero not only argumentative line coincides with the red, but also with the designated on Monday by President Sebastián Piñera confirmed the departure of Rojas from office at the Ministry of culture began to contextualize the violations of the human rights violations in dictatorship.
It should be recalled that the first explanation of Red once exploded the scandal was attributed his sayings “to an old interview”.  But this did not fit the truth since those sayings in fact were informed opinions he expressed in the dialogue which it held with the Foreign Minister in this publication which brought these two former men’s left now migrated to the other side of the political spectrum.
