translated from Spanish: Lack of votes, silver research commission falls in tax havens in Piñera

During this morning, the 65 support signatures of all opposition benches were presented to request the installation of a commission to investigate the millionaire transfer of the silvers of the Piñera Morel family to prosecutors.
The vote to determine the creation of this commission had to take place tomorrow, before the constitutional indictment against President Sebastián Piñera was analyzed. But, against all odds, it was made today. The reason? As they explained from the Chamber of Deputies, the secretary put it on board during this afternoon’s special legislative session.
Because of this, and because some Members who were in committee did not make it to the Chamber, this committee was rejected. While he had 61 votes in favor and 54 against, the necessary quorum was not reached.
In this regard, Mr Daniel Nuñez expressed his displeasure, stating that “it is outrageous that the right voted against the creation of a commission to investigate allegations against Piñera of using tax havens to evade taxes”.
“Why didn’t they give their votes, why cover Piñera, why didn’t they let the chamber of deputies investigate Piñera’s stock maneuvers? The right-wing attempt to make landfall on the financial operations of the Piñera clan smells bad. They stand by Chile’s fifth richest man,” he said.
