The coordinator of the Broad Front bench, Liliam Kechichian, was in agreement with the proposal, “because the ultimate goal is to know the truth about this sad episode.” However, he believes that focusing attention on Parliament is incorrect because they are not the only people who had access to the document: “We think that this document has circulated and the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of the Interior, the Foreign Ministry have also had access. , the Ministry of Economy and many of the agencies that coordinate with the State Strategic Intelligence Service”, he emphasized.
“Traceability, for us, was not guaranteed by director Garcé and, in that sense, it seems to us that there would also be a door of certain vulnerability there,” added Kechichian.
“We believe that we should not be the only ones but that there should be other State agencies that should also be investigated,” he continued.
