The Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, assured that those who called the massive demonstration on Sunday -commemorative of the outbreak of the crisis- will be held accountable if there is a Covid-19 outbreak in the coming weeks.
In the televised balance sheet made this Monday, the Health Minister said: “Yesterday we saw scenes totally contrary to what it means to maintain physical distance, maintain health standards and avoid contagion.”
“If in 14 more days we have a coronavirus outbreak in Santiago, those who called to demonstrate and did not care about health will be responsible for that outbreak, just as they sometimes make us responsible for what happens, “he pointed out, pointing to the Teachers College and to Mayor of Recoleta, Daniel Jadue.
“The mayors who ran out of the demonstration will be responsible for this outbreak if it happens 14 days from now, “said the minister, referring to the incident that Jadue experienced last day, who, before attempted assault of some people in Plaza Italia, indeed he ran away, to later return to the place, announcing legal action against those responsible.
Faced with an attempted attack, and protected by his team, Jadue withdrew running yesterday from Plaza Italia. Later he came back. The incident was commented sarcastically by the Minister of Health.
Legal risk
“Those people, and even professional associations that called to march and that they did not finally meet the standards they had promised They have a risk to run, since the Health Code says that anyone who endangers public health should be punished for violating the hygiene or health rules duly publicized by the authority‘”Paris warned.
“They themselves publicized measures and they were not carried out. I believe that also the vandalism, destruction and burning of two churches that were national patrimony threaten the country, against our inhabitants,” said the minister.
Paris stressed that “an activity that we stated that we supported if it was carried out in a calm, democratic way, maintaining physical distancing and sanitary measures, turned into a vandalism and obviously we cannot tolerate it.”
“Maybe he was exercising”
Asked about further details in his statements, the minister said: “When there are prosecutors who persecute former health ministers and to officials of the Ministry of Health, Why don’t they go after people who call to demonstrate and don’t comply with health standards? “
“I did not name any mayor, but everyone saw on television that a mayor ran away after taking photos and even hugging with other people also without complying with sanitary regulations, “he said, before ironing out pointing out that “Maybe he was exercising, maybe I’m misunderstanding what he did, but I saw him ripping out of the crowd. “
Jadue replies and accuses “remarkable hypocrisy”
The secretary’s statements were not long in being responded to by Mayor Jadue: “(I want) to recommend to Minister Paris that he not echo the lies that his sector throws to try to deceive the citizens.”
The communal chief also raised “a small correction, with great humility: Minister, to speak of regrowth, you must have had control of the pandemic at some minute, and you have not been able in all this time – neither you nor your predecessor (Jaime Mañalich) – to have pandemic control, because you let it develop and spread in an absolutely irresponsible way throughout the territory. “
The minister’s statements @DrEnriqueParis they are unacceptable. To speak of regrowth, at some point there must have been total control of the pandemic, something that neither you nor your predecessor have achieved. Don’t play with the pain of a whole country!

The communist militant, who is the author of the complaint against Sebastián Piñera, the former minister Mañalich and the undersecretaries Arturo Zúñiga and Paula Daza, which gave rise to the investigation alluded to by the minister – he closed by noting: “It seems to me a remarkable hypocrisy that you are the one in charge of the management of the pandemic and that we are responsible … A little more humility and weighing”.
Aguilar: “Injury and slanderous”
The aforementioned also responded to the minister President of the College of Teachers, Mario Aguilar, public convenor of last day’s demonstration: “What you are doing is insulting and slanderous, Mr. Paris“.

Minister asked “to specify the emails to deliver”
This morning it was learned that Enrique Paris asked the Supreme Court to suspend the resolution that authorized the formula of the Prosecutor’s Office to access the emails of the portfolio in the midst of the pandemic.
Asked about this in the report, he noted: “What I requested is that the questions or emails that I must deliver be clarified or specified. It was requested in a massive way, the same thing that the Supreme Court said no (last week) “.
“We obviously request that it be clarified which emails we really have to deliver … We will do so, because we comply with justice,” he said.
To this the plaintiff’s attorney replied, Ramon Sepúlveda: “Rightly there is an obstruction to the investigation and upon clarification of the facts, this situation is no longer within the norm that allows the competent authority to oppose it, what the Ministry of Health has to do through the minister is to comply with the resolution of the Seventh Guarantee Court “.
