The president of the Social Green Regionalist Federation (FRVS), Flavia Torrealbaaddressed opposition pressure and indicated that the right “is besieging” the President gabriel boric and noted that “they are leading the country to an institutional crisis.”
“The right is besieging the President in such a questionable and dangerous way that they are leading the country to an institutional crisis. There is no honor in his political management or noble interests, only small calculation and desire for advantage. Conditions are increasing more and more, nothing is enough for them,” Torrealba said yesterday on his Twitter account.

The FRVS helmsman described the Chile Vamos strategy as “dangerous” by “putting democracy in jeopardy, since if it breaks, it is not only the progressive sectors that will suffer, but the entire country, especially the people who are in the worst economic situation or who live in environmental sacrifice zones”.

opposition pressure
President Gabriel Boric applied 13 pardons on Friday, January 30: 12 to people convicted in the context of the social outbreak and to the ex-frontist Jorge Mateluna. The President’s decision generated criticism from the opposition and Chile Vamos -with the exception of Senator Manuel Jose Ossandon (RN) – got off the Executive’s security desk.
Subsequently, a report from T13 revealed that louis castillo, one of those pardoned by President Boric had other convictions on his record. In 2005 he was convicted twice for theft, in 2006 for less serious injuries and robbery with violence and in 2017 for surprise robbery.
The pardon of Castillo generated more opposition criticism and triggered the resignation of the Minister of Justice, Marcela Riosand President Boric’s chief of staff, Matías Meza-Lopehandía.
For its part, Chile Vamos filed the constitutional accusation against Ríos yesterday. The head of bench RN, deputy Andrew Longtonpointed out that there is “a clear illegality and unconstitutionality regarding the pardons and prison benefits granted” in the southern part of the country.
