Discussion with Delgado
The Secretary of State led a discussion on Tuesday with the deputy viviana delgado (PEV), which earned him opposition criticism.
According to the legislator, after a session of the Education Commission of the Lower House, Ávila approached her to ask her to reopen a school in Maipú. According to Delgado, the Minister of Education yelled at him.
Ávila’s reaction caused Congresswoman Delgado not to appear in the general vote on the government’s tax reform. Delgado was absent with Pamela Jiles (IND) and Monica Arce (IND), key votes that influenced the rejection of the initiative.
About that episode, Ávila expressed that “we already talked (with the President), and that basically today has to leave us some lessons. I am a teacher, therefore what one learns, every circumstance of life is learning”.
