The Minister of Social Development, Giorgio Jackson, referred to the constitutional accusation presented against him by parliamentarians from the Republican Party. The Secretary of State said he felt calm and willing to cooperate with the investigation.
“I am very calm and available for what Congress requires, in the use of its supervisory powers, to be able to deliver all the information and documentation, as I already did in the Social Development Commission a few weeks ago,” declared Minister Jackson, at a press point.

Therefore, Jackson reiterated, “I am absolutely calm to be able to deliver all the necessary information, so that the parliamentarians form their judgment, their opinion, and proceed with this act of inspection that our legal system contemplates.”
It is worth mentioning that the Chamber of Deputies and Deputies raffled this Wednesday the members of the commission that will review the accusatory libel against the head of Social Development. The instance will be made up of three pro-government deputies and two opposition legislators.
The deputy Johannes Kaiser explained in a video uploaded to his social networks that the accusation is also based in part on “the impartiality within the Environmental Impact Assessment System (SEIA) for having accused a government official of crime as a reason for dismissal of the position, omitting as a true cause the illicit and illegal instructions that he gave to said official.”
The case to which the legislator alludes corresponds to the former Metropolitan Social Development Secretary, Patricia Hidalgo, who accused having received “undue pressure” from the Government to approve projects with which she did not agree in the Evaluation Committee of the Environmental Evaluation Service.
Subsequently, the Ministry of Social Development indicated in a statement that the Government requested Hidalgo’s resignation due to a loss of confidence “for having formally disregarded the presentation of complaints, an issue that is the obligation of all political authorities and public officials, given indications of the alleged rape of a girl in an area that cares for people living on the street.”
