«Just as he is exposing himself he receives a call, it is projected on the screen, and for the sake of transparency I would like to ask what links his pension advisor has with that entity, which has been in Zalaquett’s house, entity that could become or apply to be a private investor tomorrowfor example,» questioned the unionist parliamentarian.
Minister Jara responded to the above and criticized that «I have been on this Commission for two years and I believe that This is the fifth time in which something has been attempted to be insinuated about me..

But I really think that’s enough.»
