During this day, the President of the Christian Democracy (DC), Fuad Chahin, called on the Government to “once again be serious and transparent in providing data and explanation of how Covid behaves in the country.” That, after the sayings of the Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, who indicated that the slight rise of the coronavirus in the Metropolitan Region could be due to the opening of the Chinese Mall.
“The World Health Organization and Minister Paris itself have been consistent in ensuring that the first symptoms of the virus occur after 5 days of contagion, and even 7, reaching up to 15 days. Then it is not understood why today a rise in the contagion of the Metropolitan Region is attributed to the opening of the Chinese Mall, which was the recent Monday; that is, just three days since. This explanation is to belittle people’s intelligence,” said the DC helmsman.
In the same vein, Chahin added that “the minister should take contagion increases in the Metropolitan Region more seriously, and as he committed to the Step-by-Step Plan, step-by-step if people’s health is at risk. It should begin to assess whether deconfunding measures rather than progressively increasing, become more conservative and reassessed.”
“Let it be responsible, serious and transparent”
For this reason, President DC called on the Government to “be responsible, serious and transparent, because it is the constitutional responsibility to ensure the health of the population and also the constitutional responsibility to ensure future processes, such as the plebiscite.
“I would not want to see the President of the Republic in a campaign of terror to prevent or call into question its realization, while the malls, the trade, are open, and people are forced to leave by public transport to go back to their jobs,” he added.
In addition, the D.C. helmsman said that “here we must take care of ourselves and prevent contagion among all and for everything. Not for some activities. It cannot happen that people should expose the property and shelter for others, as it is in the interest of the government on duty. For this reason, Minister Paris, the Government and the President must or should account for why these hikes occur and what they will do to make them controlled. But enough of the unbelievable explanations and that the public looks with rejection and distrust”
Finally, the Chahin indicated that once the secure plebiscite law was passed, “a cross-sectional commission is formed advising the Servel and the Ministry of Health in designing all the measures necessary for its implementation.
“The pandemic has shown that we need a new Fundamental Charter to show that Chile is a serious country and leaves no one in defenselessness. For this reason, Chileans and Chileans have the right to choose their destination in a guaranteed way and we all want to participate that such security is possible,” he concluded.
