The Government of Chile expressed to Argentina his “profound surprise” at the virtual meeting that the president held last Friday, April 24 Alberto Fernández with members of the Chilean opposition.

In the opinion of our country, the comments of the trans-Andean president in the appointment are an “interference in the internal affairs From Chile”.

Through a statement sent by Chancellery, it was reported that the undersecretary (s) of Foreign Relations, Raúl Fernández, summoned to the Foreign Ministry who is at the head of the Argentine representation in the country, the charge d’affaires Carlos Mascías, this at the express request of Foreign Minister Teodoro Ribera.

The intention was “to represent the deep strangeness of the Government of Chile by comments made by the President of Argentina Alberto Fernández in a videoconference with Chilean politicians on April 24, which constitute a interference in the internal affairs of Chile

“In the opinion of the Government of Chile, such statements do not facilitate or contribute to continue advancing in a bilateral agenda that it has been fruitful and that it has been developed under various governments in the two countries. Chile maintains its willingness to continue working for common interests within the framework of a positive and respectful dialogue between both countries, “added the Foreign Ministry in its statement.

The controversy

Everything is due to a videoconference that Fernández held with members of the Chilean opposition in the middle of a meeting of the so-called Puebla Group.

Personalities such as José Miguel Insulza, Claudia Pascual, Francisco Huenchumilla, Alejandro Guillier, Karol Cariola, Alejandro Navarro, Álvaro Elizalde, Guido Girardi, Gael Yeomans, Maya Fernández and Marco Enríquez-Ominami participated in it.

According to reports, at that meeting President Fernández told Chilean politicians to join and settle differences in order to regain power.

The situation occurred days after the controversy between Chile and Argentina about the measures that have been applied in both countries by the coronavirus.
