And in that we know that the Ministry of culture has a very important role,”said Orieta Grendy, Director of the venue. Grendy, on behalf of the minor Franciscan order, said that “this is not only to get the works back, this requires a reflection on country level because it is not possible that there are people who continue to believe that the assets of Chile belong irregularly who they are against the law.” The Director said that they deliver part of its inventory to the police to facilitate investigations before a possible robbery.
