translated from Spanish: Cubillos questioned mPs for pepe Auth waiver request

Minister Marcela Cubillos on Thursday questioned the view of no respect for “freedom of conscience” among MPs, after some MPs have applied for Pepe Auth’s resignation at the House table, for voting against the constitutional impeachment of the holder of Education.” I think that the fact that there are some MPs who do not respect the freedom of conscience at the minute of The Vote’s vote, one wonders in which foot then the right to defence, in what foot is left the debate that has to exist in Congress , what is the point then of having a commission, having expert guests who will expose, what are the use of eight hours of debate if there is no freedom of conscience to vote in the end,” Cubillos said when consulted. The secretary of state also referred to the letter sent to him by UDI deputies asking him to return to military in that party. “I take it as a show of affection, my story is very linked to the UDI and I have great friends there, but I entered the cabinet without militancy and so I am.” The minister is located in the Coquimbo region, next to President Sebastián Piñera, where they visited students from a school in Punitaqui, who are part of the “Leo Primero” program; his first public activity linked to his portfolio after bypassing the constitutional indictment. This activity is in line with what the minister said yesterday, arguing that her agenda will be primarily focused “on schools and not congress,” with the push of such programs.
