The former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Andrés Allamand, has been made official by the Ibero-American General Secretariat in Spain, as the new Ibero-American Secretary General. This, after being appointed on November 26, 2021, at the First Meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Ibero-America.
In this way, the now former foreign minister quickly turned the page on his controversial departure from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A fact that has not yet been settled in Chile, after the intention of opposition parliamentarians who seek to materialize a constitutional accusation against the lawyer due to “abandonment of duties” in the midst of the migratory crisis that is going through the north of the country, before which Allamand did not refer.
On the web portal of the Ibero-American General Secretariat, they made a summary of the former foreign minister’s political career, highlighting his participation in the political transition agreement that took place in the country during the 1990s.
“Allamand, who was Chancellor of the Republic of Chile, is a lawyer and completed his university studies at the Law School of the University of Chile, where he graduated with the highest distinction,” the portal underlines.
“He signed the ‘National Agreement for the Transition to Full Democracy’, a key document for the Chilean transition that took place in the 1990s,” he adds.
Andrés Allamand will fulfill the role of Secretary General for four years with the possibility of being renewed only once. He comes to replace the Costa Rican Rebeca Grynspan, who left her duties in September 2021. Through the agency’s official Twitter account, they celebrated her appointment.
Andrew @allamand has assumed today as the new Ibero-American Secretary General (SGI), a position for which he was appointed on November 26, 2021 by consensus by the governments of the 22 Ibero-American countries.
