This Thursday afternoon, President Gabriel Boric announced that Chile will send a note of protest to Venezuela following the statements issued by the attorney general of that country, Tarek William Saab. The highest authority of the Venezuelan Prosecutor’s Office pointed out that the murder and kidnapping of the former military man and dissident of the government of Nicolás Maduro, Ronald Ojedacould be executed by “Chilean and foreign intelligence bodies” as a “false flag operation.”
Given these statements, the President instructed the chancellor, Alberto van Klaverento present a note of protest to Venezuela through diplomatic channels, defending that “Chile is a serious country, where institutions work, where there is separation of powers, and where the Prosecutor’s Office and the Public Ministry are carrying out a serious, responsible investigation.”
“Therefore, if from another particular agency of the Venezuelan Prosecutor’s Office they have serious, real, They have to make them available to the Chilean Prosecutor’s Office“Boric said in a brief press point in La Moneda.
The Head of State said that he “constantly hears statements that can be very grandiose, but what has proven to work is serious work, work when there is bilateral cooperation.” In that sense, he assured that “When the institutions of our country are insulted, denigrated or questioned, we have to respond very clearly and firmly, as our chancellor has done, as I am doing.”
“By the way, We demand respect from all countries regarding Chilean institutions. And in that, none of us, no one from the government, I would hope that no one from the Chilean State, has any doubt that we have to be on the same line,” he concluded.
