After the mayor of Recoleta, Daniel Jadue (Communist Party), confirmed that it is in favor of giving Bolivia an outlet to the sea in exchange for benefits that the former Minister of Foreign Relations (2014-2018) and current president of the Party for Democracy can offer Chile from the highlands. (PPD), Heraldo Muñoz, lashed out at the proposal.
Through a message on Twitter, the communist politician, who has obtained significant support in the polls as a possible presidential candidate as a counterweight to the mayor of Las Condes, Joaquin Lavin, explained that “The exit to the sea for Bolivia must be resolved through a plebiscite. Beyond a personal opinion, it cannot be the decision of any ruler. You have to get used to raising the levels of participation on issues of national importance.”
“No mayor @danieljadue: The access to the sea for Bolivia does not need a resolution, since the Court of The Hague ruled that Chile has no obligation to negotiate sovereign access to the sea, as Bolivia claimed when suing us. We defended our sovereignty together and we won, “said former Foreign Minister Muñoz on the same social network, who led the successful defense of Chilean sovereignty in the case presented by La Paz in the International Court of Justice, which our country won by an overwhelming majority .
“Read the ruling of The Hague if you intend to be President of the Republic. The ruling is final and rejected all Bolivian arguments. The future relationship with Bolivia must be about integration, about the future, and not about territories, “added helmsman PPD.
And he stressed: “You don’t do populism with foreign policy“.
After this summons, Jadue responded with another tweet: “It seems estimated that for a change, he did not read my entire statement. I insist, I think that the citizens should decide by means of a plebiscite. I hope that sometime he begins to value public opinion. “
To which Muñoz affirmed: “His statements go against the public sentiment, expressed repeatedly during our defense in The Hague. Do not create false expectations, alien to the national interest. “Thing judged”, mayor; that is the Hague judgment. “
“Chile has no pending issues with Bolivia, period”, concluded the former head of national diplomacy.
Next, the proposal of the mayor of Recoleta:
The exit to the sea for Bolivia must be resolved through a plebiscite. Beyond a personal opinion, it cannot be the decision of any ruler. You have to get used to raising levels of participation on issues of national relevance. #QueElPuebloDecida
