translated from Spanish: Opposition questioned Ubilla’s reasons for resigning his post

After President Sebastián Piñera accepted Rodrigo Ubilla’s resignation as undersecretary of the Interior, different reactions have had political figures being the opposition that points to a “political responsibility” of the former sub-party Education following reports on human rights. The president of the Democratic Revolution, Catalina Pérez, expressed that “surprising if, but quite natural and obvious the political responsibilities of the Government in terms of violation, of violation of human rights do not wait.” The duo Ubilla and Chadwick was one of the ones that has done the most damage to the country and that has done the most to respect for human rights in our lands.” In addition, Pérez recalled the “Jungla Command”, the death of Camilo Catrillanca and the purchase of land by indigenous lands by undersecretary. In fact, he insisted that “while it is surprising, it seems natural to me and I hope that the political responsibilities of the government will not remain in the undersecretary but that this means that the government begins to take its charges.” For his part, Karol Cariola (PC) also referred to the “reasons” given by the former under-secretary of the Interior, stating that “it does not appear to have been for personal reasons, after a lapidary report by Amnesty International, of the UN, of Human Right Watch on the matter of human rights, the interior minister who turned to the head in this case who was constitutionally charged (Chadwick) with an undersecretary who was going absolutely unnoticed with clear political responsibilities in relation to violations of human rights”On the other hand, socialist party member Maya Fernández and stated that the resignation “was quite late, the truth that after having four lapidary reports showing the violation of human rights in the last months of our country, a long time ago, should have been asked to resign for these human rights as undersecretary, there are political responsibilities here and it is something that needs to be clarified, not because it is not going to be clarified.”
