The Minister of Housing, Carlos Montesaddressed this Friday the resignation of the former Minister of Social Development, Jeanette Vega, after an adviser to the portfolio called the leader of the Arauco Malleco Coordinator (CAM), Hector Llaitul, on May 11. The head of Housing described this leak as “unfortunate” and questioned the fact that files from the Prosecutor’s Office come out “irregularly.”
“It is unfortunate that this happens and we hope that there are the corresponding summaries and investigations to determine how this occurs,” said Minister Montes after an activity, in which he accompanied the President Gabriel Boric.

“This has happened other times, now we are in a particularly delicate situation and that the files begin to come out irregularly from the Prosecutor’s Office, is something that speaks ill of the system,” he added.
“These are painful events for the minister and all the minister’s co-workers, we give her a hug,” continued the Secretary of State.
“However, the one who has made the decision with all the background has been the President and that is why we believe that it is a decision that corresponds,” he said.
Regarding the possibility of some summary due to the filtering of the call, President Boric commented that “it is not up to me to attribute responsibility to anyone, because I do not have proof of anything in particular, but what I do ask is that it be investigated, because all the institutions , not only the dependents of the Government have to live up to this and not collaborate with this type of leaks that in the end end up delegitimizing the same institutions”.
The call
The middle ex ante revealed on Thursday that Tania Santis, adviser to former Minister Vega-who assumed the interministerial coordination of the South Macrozone in April-, made a call to Llaitul on May 11. As can be seen in the transcript of the call (contained in a confidential PDI report), the objective was for the CAM leader to speak with Vega.
“She (Minister Vega) asked me (to see) the possibility of contacting you and seeing the possibility of being able to have a conversation with you right now, by phone,” Santis told Llaitul.
The CAM leader asked Santis where he got his number. Later, he said to talk to him on Whatsapp.
That May 11, the middle Werken News broadcast an interview with Llaitul, in which he criticized the “intermediate state”, a measure considered by the Government of the President Gabriel Boric to avoid the State of Exception in the provinces of Biobío and Arauco, in the Biobío region, and throughout La Araucanía.
