“In the second round, my campaign manager was Carolina García, who was the general secretary of the party. She was in charge of all the commands, I mean with the presidential command of the then Broad Front candidate, and I was not in charge of them,” he emphasized.
“Who has to answer for those sayings, because she was responsible for the dialogue with the command, with the campaign manager of the presidential candidate who is the current minister Giorgio Jackson, is Carolina García,” he added.

“Any additional background information we are happy to provide so that these investigations can conclude. We do not have any new history that has changed such approvals for our account. So we don’t have much more to add,” he added.
As for his work as campaign manager, Jackson affirmed that “the coordination with the heads of the political parties was made with all the parties to coordinate all the candidacies that were at the national level.”
“Regarding the rendering of spending, there has been no observation from the competent authority. That is to say, that all the spending that we have rendered since Gabriel Boric’s campaign was authorized, totally intact,” he closed.
