feminist breakfast
The ex-Communes explained the “feminist breakfast”, which occurred in the context of the campaign against the Regional Government and criticized for the cost of $50 million pesos in accountability.
“One of my biggest mistakes was not knowing how to explain this (…) I can justify it in a thousand things, but I will be blunt: there was no breakfast for $50 million. There is no ticket or invoice that is declared for that amount or issued to me by any provider and there is also no request for reimbursement for $50 million, “Oliva assured.
“This invoice was never issued because this was a quote. What’s more, we declared that this invoice did not correspond to our campaign. We declared it to the Electoral Service and it was even removed from our accounts,” he added.
