translated from Spanish: While Piñera holds auditor’s office, RN draws his attention and asks him to take the mistake for the presence of children on tour in Asia

The controversy over President Piñera’s trip to China in co Mpañía of their children continues to provoke reactions. On the point, the deputy of national renewal, Ximena Ossandón, asked the government to close once the issue by making a strong self-criticism for not having stopped in time something that could have been avoided.
“The Chinese shoe in which we are has to do with the lack of mea culpa that has existed. Here those responsible are not the children, are the people who made the decision to take them to the plane, knowing that the citizenry now rightly condemns any kind of privileges, “said the parliamentary officer.
Ossandón asked to end the unforced errors and with explanations that only complicate the situation of the Government. “Here we must stop this wave and say that there was a mistake, that the situation was not read well and we will not fall back into these practices,” he said.
“Politics is not perfect, when one is wrong it is best to recognize it and explain to people that things will be different in the future. If we had acted like this from the beginning this issue would already be forgotten. President Bachelet mortgaged her government because she never made a mea culpa about her son Sebastián Dávalos and I do not want the same thing to happen here, “the legislator said.
In his view, he is losing energy and a precious time in explaining, “when what the official should be having is working on the social and security issues outstanding,” said the District 12 representative.
“If I were to give you a humble advice to the Presídente I would tell you to converse very well with your nearest circle of advisers and ask them to explain why they were not able to calculate what finally happened. It is also clear that the explanations that have been given subsequently, all they have done is to escalate even more conflict because they have been unclear and Contradictoras. Here the only thing to say is that the journey of the children was a mistake and will not be repeated. Let’s assume as a government that there was a mistake and close the subject at once. Even the president’s own son apologized and I do not understand why the government does not do so and strives to lengthen the issue, “he added.
The congresswoman also does not believe that to get out of this circumstance the recipe is to point to the previous administrations and the relatives and friends who traveled to the state coast before. “It is true that Nanas, friends and also children of the first leaders traveled before. But in the past, presidents used to do things that today, with a more developed and demanding democracy, are not tolerable. In addition we in the previous period were very critical of the cronyism of the president, then now we must preach with the example. It is true that the opposition acts with Odiosidad, but it is the costs that are paid when a government leaves the ball bouncing, “Ossandón declared.
On the opinion of the Comptroller who did not see any irregularities in the invitation to the children of the President to the tour in Asia, the congresswoman said that “there has never been a legal problem and we know that forever. In fact, there was no protocol. What is at stake is a political, ethical issue and also the message we give to people who want equality before the law and same opportunities in all areas. ”
Piñera and the opinion
President Sebastián Piñera highlighted the “categorical” opinion of the comptroller who ruled out irregularities for the participation of his children in the tour of Asia.
Through his Twitter account, the president said that the trip “meant no expense to the state.”
“I highlight Q travel opened large markets for export and effectively promoted greater investments and technological progress for Chile,” he said, sharing images of his meeting with the authorities of the Asian country.
From the government, spokeswoman Cecilia Perez, also reaction to the opinion and questioned-to the same as his par Andrés Chadwick-that “who assumes the great damage of the lies and opportunism of the left? Someone recognizes him and apologizes for such false and irresponsible judgment? ”
