Senator Manuel José Ossandón (RN) referred to the election of President Gabriel Boric’s candidate for National Prosecutor. Along these lines, the parliamentarian revealed that there was a name prior to that of the questioned Ángel Valencia: Agustín Meléndez.
in conversation with the dynamothe parliamentarian indicated that “I am going to vote conscientiously and I am going to study the background. But the candidate for National Prosecutor until yesterday, Wednesday at lunchtime, was Meléndez. We knew that Palma (Carlos) had the votes easily, and that Meléndez I had the votes easily. Valencia (Ángel) I don’t know if I have them with that ease”.

Complementing the above, Ossandón does not understand what happened, “but President Boric clearly changed his mind, with a completely different opinion from what we saw in his ministers, because in all the conversations we had there was talk of supporting Meléndez or Carlos Palma, the name of Valencia never came up. Never. I was having lunch in the Senate when a minister called me to inform me that the President was going to propose Valencia”.
Because the name was not discussed in Congress, Ossandón assumes that Valencia’s proposal “is clearly the riskiest bet.” “I don’t know if the President wants to fall again or not, but we have to vote conscientiously,” concluded Ossandón.
