The Ethics Commission of the Chamber of Deputies agreed this afternoon to sanction the deputy Hugo Gutierrez (PC) with a disciplinary measure of censorship and a fine to its parliamentary regime of 5.1 percent, for two episodes starring in social networks in 2019 that were considered as incitement to violence.
This was announced by the president of the instance, Bernardo Berger (RN), who explained that the sanctions are based on two events that occurred after the social outbreak of October 2019.
In the first of them, Gutiérrez uploaded to Twitter a Christmas celebration without Santa Clauss because the character would be imprisoned for being hooded and folded into the demonstrations, a message that was accompanied by a children’s drawing where the figure of the communist deputy fired a firearm at the president of the Republic.
The second Twitter referred to the phrase “Antofagasta takes her!”, As a feast while in the image a mob was observed attacking a Carabineros vehicle.
“In both cases, the commission evaluated the events as a clear form of incitement to violence, which is not consistent with the parliamentary ethical duty that we want to promote from this House,” added Berger.
In this regard, Deputy Gutiérrez rejected the sanction, assuring that the Ethics Commission is violating his freedom of expression.
“I believe that what the Ethics Commission does is sanction freedom of expression, I believe that although sometimes people do not like what one says, it is the exercise of a fundamental human right,” he said.
