José Morales was rejected in the Senate to be the next National Prosecutor and the fact generated a crisis in the Socialist Party, which was divided around the figure of Morales, with votes in favor and others against, despite being the letter chosen by President Gabriel Boric.
One of those who voted in favor was Senator José Miguel Insulza, who this Thursday, along with regretting the unchecking of legislators from his party -such as Fidel Espinoza- announced that he had submitted his resignation as head of the political shop bench.

“10 minutes after the vote I resigned from continuing as head of the Socialist Party bench in the Senate, because I believe that when one gets together to do politics they have to do politics together, and if each one does what they want win, we are lost and that is not going to work,” he said in dialogue with Radio Universe.
Along the same lines, he maintained that the government “needed that this appointment be approved and those closest to the government voted for the presidential proposal, which was also a studied proposal.”

And he went on to explain that “at a request from the President of the Republic, which is precise and that not only his Minister of Justice (Marcela Ríos) but also his Minister of the Interior (Carolina Tohá) come to make that request, and the president of the party (Paulina Vodanovic) to make that request and it is not fulfilled, what is going to be done?
“I hope that something can be put back together, but the truth is that it seems very unfortunate to me,” Insulza asserted.
