“We are, a few blocks down that same street, with another establishment with men and women working, drinking hidden, in curfew, knowing the outbreak that we have today … It is inconceivable that today we continue to think so selfishly and we continue to expose those who really can be hospitalized or die for this cause, “he emphasized Alejandra Valdebenito.
