Clara is the defender of children, Patricia Muñoz, referring to the complex installation that has since July 1 when it took office. “Today the budget it does not have available, that means that I can not pay the people who work with me.” So simple”, said to exemplify the precarious situation in which it is operating.
“Payment will be retroactive, will have to be when we have the budget,” he explained in a conversation with radio universe. He added that the statutes that enable you to adjust the organizational structure, are not yet approved. “In fact yesterday sent a mail to the Minister (Gonzalo) Blümel requesting collaboration in this matter, because I do contests of headquarters units for high public address without approval of the statutes.” I’m hoping that I will respond”.
“I have limited staff, I do not buy more, there are people who have not received salary, I have to go to Congress driving me, with my car. “They are things that one really says is like a little… I really thought there was another logic when implementing an institution”, said.

He added that: “what is important is what I ask in the interview and in fact striking that all aspects relating to the priorities from the point of view of protection to children were unattended and will remain with that part”.
