The RN helmsman said that “National Renewal has three fundamental pillars: probity, transparency and the presumption of innocence. And in that context, we are going to ask that the complaint that has been raised be investigated to the last consequences, and of course, once we collect each and every one of the antecedents, National Renewal and its board of directors will make a decision regarding the militancy of former Mayor Torrealba.” First we must wait for there to be an accusation regarding some illicit act that has been committed” and “once there is a training by the Prosecutor’s Office, we as a directive will make the decisions of the case.” Added. He also emphasized that “we have not had contact with him” and that “this fact surprised us today and of course we consider that this fact deserves, before public opinion, to be clarified to the last consequences. Whoever falls.”
