translated from Spanish: Ricardo Lagos: “what you put is automatically a clear-cut opinion”

in a conversation with radio Duna, former President Ricardo Lagos, referred to the political contingency and called consensus, after disputes and These Crusaders between the Government and the opposition.” Independent living in the Government or in the opposition, you have to make basic consensus as it has been in the past”said the former President.” I see a dissent by any subject. Here what you put, automatically finds a clear-cut opinion”he added. The former President also referred to the constitutional accusation against three Ministers of the Supreme Court, following the delivery of prison benefits to convicted of crimes against humanity. Lagos said that there are certain situations that appear to be “disturbing” as “one of the powers of the State are meddles with the other’s granting travel”. “I wouldn’t say that it is an intrusion, because they have the right when there is considerable neglect of duties. “The issue is what is the remarkable abandonment of duties: is a sentence or a set of repeated sentences?” said the former President. “If they are a set of repeated sentences, then it means that it is not viable what has been done. Now, if it’s a sentence, then to say that we are introducing a very complex element in our institutions”, he added. In the radio conversation, Lagos also pointed to the case of the Minister Hugo Dolmestch, one of the accused judges and argued that “if say me that there is no Ministers as Dolmetsch, which were decisive for the establishment of the CNI as a terrorist type activity of State, well, that man has a record backwards that also has to be considered”.
