During the press conference held this Monday by the Broad Front to talk about education, the opposition party also referred to the case of the former presidential custodian, Alejandro Astesiano. In this sense, they announced the formation of a follow-up group on the subject.
The vice president of the FA, Verónica Piñeiro, indicated that “before the appearance of new information, the political table decided to create a follow-up working group with Senator Charles Carrera, Mariano Tucci as coordinator of the bench of deputies, Liliam Kechichian as coordinator of the bench of senators” in addition to her, as a representative of the party presidency.
Regarding the case, the president of the FA He said that “there is an increasingly delicate situation.”
“Artesiano’s complaint appeared as a case of falsification of documents, then the investigation was deepened and today we already see that there were bribes, what they call a commission are bribes for State purchases that several members of the National Police hierarchy mention. Possibly in the future there will be more substantive parliamentary actions,” Pereira said.
However, he said that from the political force they will not “precipitate” because it is not “a matter of simple solution.”
“We believe that there were cases of serious corruption in the government next to the president and nobody warned him. According to what they say, Astesiano managed the video surveillance cameras, which he used for El Guardian. It seems that the more the matter is clarified, the more serious it is. That is why this parliamentary group was created », he maintained.
“We have full confidence that our system will do the right thing. I also believe that this should be treated with political nobility, the Broad Front is not going to hit the ticket, we will make political decisions when we have all the information,” Pereira concluded.
