translated from Spanish: Senator Insulza supported decision to Piñera to leave Unasur

Senator José Miguel Insulza, former Foreign Minister and Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the high Chamber, endorsed the decision to withdraw to Chile of Unasur President Sebastián Piñera. In conversation with Emol TV, the parliamentarian said that it informed by the President to the Congress decision was logical, taking into account the “output from Colombia, Brazil and Argentina”. In addition, he said that Unasur was “dominated by the left”, and that finally “did not work because it was all unanimously and when they changed the majorities, Nicolas Maduro and Evo Morales rejected all the names proposed for Secretary general”. On the other hand, the former Chancellor said that “to my it seems to me that as it is created Prosur is well, it is always good that the Presidents together is and talk”. However, he questioned that he acted so hasty to create this instance first, before giving him a final close to Unasor, and not to act on the fly. Insulza said that “doing the reverse, as it has been done in other things also, first tried to form a new organization and then retires from what already existed. It was to be upside down, having made as Colombia, which first withdrew from the Unasur and then entered into Prosur.” Remember that Monday Minister Government, Cecilia Pérez, spokeswoman defended the decision of President Piñera expressing that “practically does not exist (Unasur), is dead.” It was an international element full of bureaucracy, with many expenses for respective countries and highly politicized and ideological.”
