FNX Magokiler Posted November 21, 2023 Posted November 21, 2023 President Gabriel Boric toughened his position in the face of requests for him to attend the inauguration of Javier Milei. He stressed that it is a “state matter” and stated that he does not need to be told what he should do. Senators Francisco Chahuán (National Renewal) and Rojo Edwards (Republican Party) urged him directly after Milei's victory over Sergio Massa in the Argentine presidential elections, demanding that he personally attend the change of command of the leader of La Libertad Avanza (LLA). . But the pressure doesn't just come from the opposition. The senator and president of the Party for Democracy (PPD), Jaime Quintana, expressed that he “would not understand” if President Boric does not cross the mountain range on December 10 for the ceremony in which Alberto Fernández will leave the Casa Rosada. “Our relationship with Argentina is strategic and is not subject to whoever temporarily occupies power,” declared the official leader. The Government stated that President Boric has not yet received the invitation for the trans-Andean change of command, although the spokesperson for La Moneda, Minister Camila Vallejo, pointed out that the President's attendance “will depend largely on the presidential agenda.” “I hope it happens today” The debate spread to social networks, where the transversal pressures towards the Head of State stood out. Faced with this situation, it was President Boric himself who came out to give explanations. In fact, he revealed that he is scheduled to speak tonight or tomorrow, Tuesday, with Javier Milei. “Let's try to talk today. When I was elected there was like a full week of calls, but we are trying to communicate. It seems to me that these are State issues that must be done at the institutional level. I hope it happens today,” explained President Gabriel Boric in a press conference after the announcement of the bill that creates the Access to Justice and Victims Advocacy Service. Asked about the aforementioned pressures, Boric insisted that it is a “state matter” and warned: “I don't need anyone to tell me what as President I have to do or not.” Furthermore, he emphasized that the Chilean people and the Argentine people are brothers, so his duty as President of the Republic is that, regardless of the political differences that "undoubtedly exist", both countries have high-minded State relations. https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/11/21/boric-responde-a-presiones-para-asistir-a-investidura-de-milei-no-me-digan-lo-que-tengo-que-hacer/
