With controversy, the review commission of the Constitutional Accusation against the Minister of the Interior, Izkia Siches, began its work.
This, because Minister Siches’s lawyer, Elisa Walker, asked to speak but was denied.
The president of the instance, the UDI deputy Christian Moreira asked for unanimity of the 5 members to grant permission to Walker, but there was none.
In addition to the trade union parliamentarian, the instance is made up of Cristian Matheson (IND-Evópoli), María Candelaria Acevedo (PC), Natalia Romero (IND-UDI) and Fernando Bórquez.
The fact was criticized by the deputy FA Gonzalo Winter: “In the commission of constitutional accusation against Minister Siches, deputies RN, UDI and PR have just denied unanimity to listen to the minister’s defense attorney. I had never seen this.”

There will be three sessions per week for the next 15 days, and it will end with the presentation of the Secretary of State’s defense.
For this first session, meanwhile, constitutional lawyers were received to learn about the legal framework.
