The Minister of the Interior, Carolina Tohá, referred to the request for background information by the Comptroller’s Office to the Ministry of Justice on the pardons delivered by President Gabriel Boric to 12 convicted of crimes in the framework of the social outbreak and the exfrentista Jorge Mateluna.
In that line, the Secretary of State pointed out that “it is totally normal that the Comptroller’s Office, at the request of parliamentarians, requests the information,” and that “at least as an Executive we are not worried.” This, since from the UDI the requirement was entered to the agency.
