Senators question indictment
During the afternoon debate, Senator Ebensperger Light (UDI) commented that “I do not believe that neither Minister Donoso nor Congress nor the Executive are responsible for Ámbar’s death, the culprit of that tragic death, which shocked us all, is Hugo Bustamante Pérez “.
The also union member Claudio alvarado held that “it is not coming to maintain that the cause of notable abandonment of duties was incurred for applying laws of defective invoice “.
For its part, Juan Pablo Letelier (PS) said that “I feel that this accusation is motivated rather by the tragic murder of Ámbar. The prosecution will not bring anyone back to lifeIt is a situation that seems rather reactive. “
His socialist peer Isabel AllendeAlong the same lines, he considered that the libel “was based on a certain emotionality and, of course, the empathy that condemning Ámbar’s atrocious crime can generate in all of us.”
The senator Francisco Huenchumilla (DC) assured that it is “one of the weakest accusations that I have had to see in the time that I have been a senator. “
The senator Alejandro Guillier (Ind) stressed that “it would be an injustice, even more so, I believe that it is not appropriate to dismiss a judge of the Republic, a judge in this case, for complying with a law for which many are responsible.”
While the also independent Carmen Gloria Aravena asked “forgiveness on behalf of society to Ámbar’s family and many other families who, having freed people who perhaps should not have been freed, today are suffering damage. But today I do not consider that the antecedents that have been exposed here give for a dismissal “.
