“Everything indicates that it is coming to an end,” said Micco in conversation with Radio Dune. He added that “for the first time” the ACES “has made contact with the Government, as has the civil servants’ association, to demand something that has always been in the hands of the Executive Power to resolve, which is to improve a series of public policies in terms of support for victims of state violence”.
The director of the INDH also pointed out that they sent the request to the Presidential Delegation after the Comptroller’s Office issued an opinion that set a deadline for the body to recover its headquarters.
“The Comptroller’s Office told us that what I did as director was not enough, which was to report the seizure to the Public Ministry,” Micco commented.
“Now it is the presidential delegation that is responsible for seeing when and how to carry out the eviction,” he said, adding that “it is not up to us to be pressuring the government on when and how to carry out the eviction, that is a sovereign decision of the Executive Branch. , in this case of the presidential delegate”.
In turn, he addressed his self-criticisms in the process to deal with the shot. “At certain moments I should have been more publicly critical, without a doubt, of what was happening in the shot; I believed too much in the possibilities of dialogue,” he said.
