“This is defamation and you have to prove it in court”said Minister Heber at a press conference reported by Underlined (Channel 10).
The Minister of the Interior also supported Penadés’s decision to leave the complaint in the personal orbit. “I don’t want to involve the party or the government, it’s a personal issue,” Penadés said Wednesday morning at the Legislative Palace.
“(Penadés) goes to court while the other person (Romina Celeste Papasso) is going to destroy the networks. Justice is the path that the senator has chosen and the senator is confident, because he is very calm,” concluded Heber.
Heber is the third leader of the National Party who publicly joins the support of Gustavo Penadés before the complaint made by the militant of his party Romina Celeste Papasso.
The first to declare publicly in favor of the senator was Gloria Rodriguezwho shares the Herrerista sector with Minister Heber and with Penadés himself.
However, the possible candidate of this sector for the inmates of 2024 Laura Raffo avoided explicitly endorsing it. “I trust justice,” Raffo told El Observador.
Another nationalist senator who supported Penadés was the leader of the For the Fatherland sector Jorge Gandini. “I believe in his word and I extend my solidarity,” he wrote on Twitter..
