A group of parliamentarians from Chile Vamos expressed their dissatisfaction with the agreement reached between the Government and the machi Celestino Córdova so that the latter would postpone his hunger strike and be able to go to his rewe.
In this regard, UDI Sen. Iván Moreira told CNN Chile that “the news is a slap in the face to Chileans living in La Araucanía because he is given a prison benefit following the extortion of a murderer.”
The senator also criticized the Executive’s “frightened at terrorism and violence.”
On the other hand, the deputy of National Renewal (RN), Miguel Mellado lamented that the Government “has yielded to a dangerous criminal, in the face of the cruel murderer of the marriage Luchsinger Mackay, giving him all the guarantees possible without deserving it, since he has not yet been able to ask the family for forgiveness and does not show any regret.”
According to La Tercera, Mellado added that “I am annoyed by the decision of this government, which promised to put a heavy hand on violence and terrorism, and gives in to pressure from a group of politicians and minority people of the Mapuche people, who today advocate for murderers and tomorrow demand jail for rapists as amber’s killer.”
Among the points agreed between the Government and the machi is the possibility that the latter may go to his rewe for a period of 30 hours, a benefit that he can access after deposing the hunger strike to which he underwent for more than 100 days.
