translated from Spanish: Appeals and constitutional accusation: active officialism intense communication deployment to defend itself

The year 2020 did not start well for La Moneda. Only in January, four of his ministers – that of Labour, María José Zaldívar; the One of Health, Jaime Mañalich, the Treasury, Ignacio Briones and finally the Environment, Carolina Schmidt- will be challenged by opposition parliamentarians. And if that is not enough, a new constitutional indictment was filed on Thursday, this time against the mayor of the Metropolitan Region, Felipe Guevara, for his action to stop the demonstrations with his “preventive cups”.
This booming mid-decade worried Palacio, who are already moving the official machinery to deal with ministerial appeals and the accusatory line against Guevara. One of those who departed was the senator from National Renewal, Andrés Allamand, who used his Twitter account to criticize these opposition offensives. “The left crookly drives accusations, appeals and actions whose obvious purpose is to create a climate of ungovernability. What was left of the Peace Agreement and the urgency of the social agenda?” he said.
Earlier, it was the president of his party, Mario Desbordes, who defended Mayor Guevara, claiming that the accusation is “regrettable”.
“Whomakes this constitutional accusation, who the firm, is making a very complex message, is sending a message to the hooded, to the violent, who are those who have been facing Carabineros in the last time; sending them a positive message, supporting the hooded. And that seems to me to be serious,” he added.
“If you’re not going to let this government do its job that the opposition puts it in a frensing, let them be responsible and say ‘we’re not going to let this government do its job and any of the ministers or mayors who dare to do things we’re going to charge it as a constitution and they’re going to take advantage of the majority they have.’ Let them say it right and end this rather-going game of looking for false arguments to make accusations,” he said.
From La Moneda they were also in charge of defending Guevara. In the official presentation of Juan Francisco Galli as undersecretary of the Interior, the minister of the portfolio, Gonzalo Blumel shielded the mayor, arguing that “accusing a mayor for complying with the law is very irresponsible”.
“These conflicts contribute nothing and weaken the authority’s capabilities,” he said.
