Original article: Director de Amnistía Internacional Chile criticó a presidente de la Cámara por cuestionamientos a contralora y tribunales: «Está en una senda peligrosa»
Rodrigo Bustos, the Executive Director of Amnesty International in Chile, raised concerns regarding recent remarks made by Chamber President, UDI Deputy Jorge Alessandri. Alessandri suggested that there should be caution regarding Controller Dorothy Pérez following her recent ruling on the management of former Minister Steinert.
Alessandri stated, «We need to closely examine what the Controller is doing in that ruling. It provides an opinion concerning a politically trusted individual.» He went further, asserting, «I had a Zoom meeting with legal experts on this issue yesterday, and this is something the Controller has not done in our country. Some feel she is overstepping her authority.»
In response, Bustos warned, «Deputy Jorge Alessandri is on a dangerous path. One day he questions court rulings on cases from the social outbreak, violating Article 76 of the Constitution. The next day, he attacks a ruling from the Controller that he dislikes.»
Bustos added, «As President of the Chamber of Deputies, he needs to be cautious and respectful of the checks and balances in a rule of law.»
