translated from Spanish: Minister spokesman brazenly inside the Political Committee

The minister spokesman of government, Jaime Bellolio, disreced a break within the Political Committee of La Moneda, after the Constitutional Court did not take up the Government’s request to prevent the enactment of the project that allows a third withdrawal of 10% of the planned funds. Asked about it, Bellolio stated that “I want to categorically deny that that exists (break). In human groups of course there are people who have different ways of thinking, have different expressions, see it from their own formation, from their way of life.” But that does not mean that, because we have differences of opinion, someone has a break, within a team like the one we are and that we do it very closely together, where the most complex decisions, in which we express our ideas, our ways of seeing, how to deal, and obviously in that strategy, way of communicating, obviously that we can have differences. It would be absurd for everyone to think exactly the same thing,” he complemented. The spokesman said that “every time we reach consensus, those decisions are unanimous, they are fully supported by absolutely the entire Political Committee.” In addition, he argued that “all the versions that are made in off, I think first, Chileans are not interested, because they have nothing to do with what is really important.” How we arrived with the help of the public, how we work to deal with the pandemic together, how we follow the vaccination process, how we can recover lost jobs, how we make a very good election in May. That’s what Chileans really care about and not ‘chimuchina’, whether or not one said it,” he added. Finally, Bellolio again ruled out “absolutely that there is some kind of break, it does not exist. What exists are people who sometimes have legitimate differences of opinion, who express them in a very good way, and then we come to a consensus where the one who makes the final decision, has always been the President of the Republic,” he said.
