Three pro-government parliamentarians requested this Tuesday that the president and deputy of the Communist Party, William Teillier, be passed to the Ethics Commission for his sayings regarding violence during the demonstrations.

“If the government and repressive forces such as the Carabineros consider that the protesters are violent, then if I say that there should be no violence, it means that I say do not go out and demonstrate and I will not say that because the right to demonstrate has to progress. What I could say is that they try by all means to do it peacefullyThat’s it, ”he told La Tercera.

The deputy added that “such violence is very rare. Here we want to connote a state of violence that I do not believe exists. So how can I condemn a thing that was so minor. “

Given this, the deputies of the UDI, Jorge Alessandri and Sergio Bobadilla, along with their RN pair, José Miguel Castro, requested that the Ethics Commission sanction Teillier for his statements.

Alessandri maintained that “when one reads the statements of Deputy Teillier, on the one hand, he thanks him for his honesty, his transparency and the way in which he recognizes that he will not make a call to avoid the marches and, therefore, nor will it make a call to avoid violence. Perhaps, that honesty is given by years in politics and his long career in events related precisely to violence for political purposes ”.

“The problem is that we would appreciate that honesty to a citizen, but when it comes from someone who is also a deputy of the republic, who votes every year on the Nation’s Budget, and who can also constitutionally accuse judges or the President of the Republic, becomes something very serious, “he added.

The union member assured that They will seek the Ethics Commission to rule on the matter “So you can tell us if in this country people who justify violence for political purposes, as Teillier does, are qualified to hold the position of parliamentarian.”

Specifically, the writing seeks that the communist deputy is sanctioned with a censure and also a fine of between 5% and 15% of his parliamentary allowance.

For his part, Bobadilla stressed that the statements of the PC president “no longer surprise us,” adding that “With his words, he is endorsing this behavior that the extreme left has, which has not trembled to burn, threaten and even murder people in the south of the country ”.

“What is new is that they kept complicit silence for a long time regarding the violence that exists in our country. But what is happening today in La Araucanía and in the Bío Bío are clear and evident testimonies that terrorism is acting in the open and with the endorsement of the Communist Party ”, remarked the parliamentarian.
