translated from Spanish: People’s Party backed Parisi but acknowledged order of arraigo against him

The People’s Party backed its presidential candidate Franco Parisi, who would maintain an order of arraigo in Chile for alleged alimony that owes 207 million pesos. From the collectivity they pointed out that the standard-bearer maintains a judicial procedure and is with national roots, but denied that it is owed to a maintenance debt. PGD spokeswoman Elizabeth Rodriguez said that “everyone has their private life. Many times we don’t need to publish it because to be a candidate, like me, there are things in my private life that don’t need to be in the spotlight because they have nothing to do with one’s abilities to hold public office.” It has been violated to his honor, to the right to privacy, being the family procedure a reserved procedure of which he has not been duly notified,” he added. In addition, the party spokeswoman said that “he does not owe maintenance, is there a judicial procedure? Yes, it exists. Is there an order of arraigo? Yes, it exists. We need the law to be ordered, for the courts of law to do their job, and for us to correct legal errors that have affected our presidential candidate.” As the People’s Party we will support the candidacy of Franco Parisi. First of all, there is no alimony debt, there is an agreement between Franco Parisi and the mother of his children. The mother of her children has the full respect of all of us and of this whole party for the fact of being a woman,” she added. As for the Channel 13 report, the party said it will present “a formal accusation to the National Television Council, since (the channel) leaked specific information that has a reserved and private nature.”
