translated from Spanish: INDH officials deal with a standstill after reaching agreement

The Association of Officials of the National Institute of Human Rights (INDH) deferred its halt of “warning” activities, carried out on Tuesday, after agreeing a working table with the management of the agency . The workers accused Sergio Micco, current director of INDH, who recognized “political biases” within the organization, in an interview with Radio Bio Bió de Concepción. The association reached an agreement with the Board of Directors of the institution to advance its request. Both sides agreed to set up a working table that will help advance the demands, which will begin operations from Thursday. According to Jimena Aguirre, spokeswoman for the trade union group, the director of INDH privately corrected his issued statements. Aguirre explained that “he pointed out to us that he was not referring to THE officials of the INDH, but to the bias that has had the right of our country in the issues of violations of human rights. We asked him to say it publicly and he said no, that he reserved the right,” the medium reports. Officials’ demands include the creation of an “autonomous board of directors,” including officials, through transparent public competitions.
