translated from Spanish: Monserrat Alvarez clarified an interview with the spokesman of the Aces and called the use of the word dictatorship “unlucky”

Journalist Monserrat Alvárez referred to the interview she gave last Friday to Aces spokesman Victor Chanfreau, where she stated that “to give freedom and right to others, but also to arrogate a majority, it is also those who do dictatorships” under the boycott of the PSU. This generated Chanfreau’s immediate response where he stated that “we must be careful with the terms we are using (…) dictatorship methods are the systematic violations of human rights that Carabineros and the Armed Forces have been using during this period of mobilization.” Today at the CHV morning, the journalist stated that “I have never exercised the truth in my profession as an attempt to maintain the privilege of a few, on the contrary. With the attempt to facilitate the conversation of the various political sectors of our society.” In addition, he clarified that “the meaning of the question is that whether or not they validated through force that those students who attended to perform the PSU could not do so. If somehow they agreed to sway down a majority and impose it by force.” “However, I formulateited it with one word, the word “dictatorship” and that deflected the meaning of my question, I think for that very reason and for using that word, it was unfortunate and that’s what I want to express, it was unfortunate to occupy the word dictatorship,” he said. Finally, the journalist stated that “I lived the dictatorship, I fought against the dictatorship and that is why the current struggle that I have as a journalist is precisely that we talk and that journalism bridges the different positions”.
