The Commission for Women and Gender Equality of the Chamber of Deputies and Deputies of Chile will request the Ministry of Women and the Ministry of Sports two trades to learn about the accusations of domestic violence made against Leonardo Valencia by his former partner, Valeria Pérez.

At the Commission session this Monday, Deputy Erika Olivera took the floor and explained that the issue “is worrying.”

“We from the Sports Commission have raised various projects on violence in sports, sexual abuse and It is striking that the Colo Colo club, being aware of these antecedents, still maintains that footballer at stake. I want to join what the deputy Ximena Ossandón requested, and hopefully through the ANFP they will send us the information to see what is being done, “said the former athlete.

“On television I saw Mrs. Valeria Pérez (former couple from Valencia) and the truth is that what has been denounced is worrying, so we hope through this commission to ask the ANFP for the background, “he added.

Meanwhile, Ossandon who had already sent a letter to Black and White requesting information, He explained that the ideal is to request more information from the ministries that could take part in the case.

“I sent a letter to Blanco y Negro given what the Colo Colo club presents, here there is a matter of social obligation. Hopefully they will make a declaration of principles, since there was already a sentence on the Valencia player of a single penalty of 61 days in its minimum degree. Colo Colo is an institution, a great image at the country level, there is an important female fan and it is important that something be said, “he said.

“I want to ask that we jointly make an office to the Ministry of Women to see if they made contact with Valeria to give him support in this process, and another job for him Ministry of Sports to make a policy of mistreatment by athletes to their partners who are outside the sports field, “he added.
