Galvarino Apablaza’s lawyer, Rodolfo Yanzón, the same one who obtained refugee status in Argentina from the former leader of the Patriotic Front Manuel Rodríguez (FPMR), said that the Minister of Security of the neighboring country, Patricia Bullrich, does not have the authority to extradite him to Chile.
“None of this is strange, but what must be made clear to the audience is that the situation of Apablaza Guerra is currently a refugee in accordance with the United Nations International Convention on Refugee Rights. and that, in any case, Your situation will be resolved by a judge.“explained the lawyer.
“No president of the nation is going to solve it, much less a Minister of Security, which is not her responsibility either.. Mrs. Bullrich is for something else,” added the lawyer.
“What’s more,” he insisted, “I say with complete certainty that Mrs. Bullrich does not know what she is talking about: He doesn’t know the law, he doesn’t know the refugee issue“.
Yanzón stated that, for the moment, Apablaza is not going to make statements to the press and maintained that, in his opinion, There is no cause that prevents his client from continuing in the trans-Andean country enjoying the rights of a political refugee..
The jurist noted that “Apablaza is well, living with his family, he has three Argentine children who are developing their lives here in this country, and well, he is certainly expectant and concerned about what is happening in the world, a man who continues to care about humanity.
