translated from Spanish: Van Rysselberghe compares Salaberry’s downfall to the operation that prevented Silber’s arrival in the house presidency

Felipe Salaberry’s departure from the undersecretariat for Regional Development (Subdere) sealed another erratic chapter in officialism, where again the levels of internal high tension between the m parties Chile Let’s go: RN and the UDI.
The version of the undersecretary’s resignation was communicated by MR. RN after a dinner last night with President Sebastián Piñera. At udI they accused the coup, and in fact the president of the trade unionjacely Jacqueline van Rysselberghe, plotted her annoyance with the gestures of her partners. “We are responsible,” the senator said this afternoon at a press point in the National Congress, once the departure of the Subdere holder is formalized. In that place, the trade union is a trade unionist – who at the time accused the Prosecutor’s Office of being an “armed arm of the left” – not only re-defended Salaberry, but also compared the situation of his protégé with that of DC MP Gabriel Silber.
“That should concern us all, not only in this case, but also for example when, as a result of an anonymous, the one who was to be speaker of the House was sanctioned. When institutionally something is sanctioned without proof of that, no photo, video or recording, the truth is that it is complex, the same thing that happened with the presidency of the House”, alluding to anonymous mail linking Silber to an alleged case of violence, sent to the whole Parliament, and which ultimately forced him to lower his application.
Van Rysselberghe again gave his full backing to the former deputy. “I believe in Philip’s version, here is the word of one against the word of another, there has been a great media uproar that not only damaged him, his family but also the Government (…) On a matter of healing from him and as a gesture of generosity to the Government it is reasonable that he has stepped aside,” he said, calling into question the so-called “ñuñoazo”, as he has been dubbed in the press.
The Government’s indefinition
In the Government, after a long day of suspense, a statement was issued just around 6 p.m. to make Salaberry’s departure official. “Our Government appreciates and values your contribution and dedication as undersecretary, carrying out the tasks and objectives entrusted during this period,” the text says, which also refers to the judicial problems affecting the former Member.
We hope that as soon as possible, the facts that have affected it and are publicknowledge can be clarified,” adds the official statement, appealing to the episode of Uñoa, where the now-resigned undersecretary is involved in a serious violation of transit and abuse of power.
Salaberry also issued a statement noting that “knowing the facts alleged against me, I immediately made my position available to the President of the Republic, a fact I reiterated to him today, in a meeting with him”.
He added that “by reason and by confinement to the great work that our Government is doing, I have asked him to accept my step to the side, so that I can focus on defending the facts of all known and thus not tarnishe their successful work.”
Moreover, he was available to take up another position in the Executive, in raising that “once my innocence has been proved, I will be at the disposal of the President of the Republic where he deems necessary my cooperation to continue the success of our Government”.
The replacement in the Subdere
As a surrogate, she will take as Under-Secretary for Regional Development, María Paz Troncoso, head of the Regional Development Division of the distribution. She is a UDI militant, considered Salaberry’s right-hand man, and thus Van Rysselberghe’s trust.
The appointment of the holder is still on hold. Van Ryselberghe has made it clear to the Government that the quota must remain in the hands of the UDI. Two names have already been in the name of Miguel Flores: Miguel Flores, who knows the position closely as he was Under-Secretary of Regional and Administrative Development in the first Government of Piñera. But his possible appointment re-installs the shadow of the conflict of interest, as he is currently president of a public company Sasipa Spa, of Easter Island Limited, but in parallel he is listed as lobbyist of Azerta, the company of Cristina Bitar.
The other name that appears is that of Cristóbal Leturia, current general manager of the Technical Cooperation Service (Sercotec). But unlike Miguel Flores, who is considered a man of Christian Larroulet, Leturia is vice president of the UDI at the JVR table.
