After the background exposed by Interference on the links between the former head of advisers on the second floor of La Moneda, Lucía Dammert, with the former Secretary of Security of the Government of Mexico, Genaro García Luna -currently being investigated by the New York Prosecutor’s Office for his criminal connection with the cartel of Sinaloa, while it was the most visible face of the war against narco launched by the government of Felipe Calderón- the sociologist published a statement on personal social networks in which she denied each of the assertions in the article. Among these points, she affirmed that she had never been an adviser to García Luna, despite the fact that in her resume she put as a notable antecedent in her career having been a senior adviser to the Mexican Secretary of Security, precisely during the glory years of the former drug czar.
This statement was retweeted by President Gabriel Boric, without any accompanying comments. Sources close to La Moneda maintain that said action can be interpreted as a demonstration of the government’s confidence in what Dammert declared. Apart from this, the Presidency has still not issued an official opinion on whether this relationship is false, or if, on the contrary, it is true, but it was not aware of it or if such information was considered irrelevant.
