“What the hell is the Chilean Human Rights Commission?” published the president of the Council for Transparency, Francisco Leturia, on his Twitter account. The comment unleashed the annoyance of the CCHDH, assuring that “not only offends the memory of our recent history, but also contradicts the decorum imposed by his high public office.”
The Chilean Commission for Human Rights (CCHDH) criticized the president of the Council for Transparency, Francisco Leturia, after a controversial publication on social networks.
“He has referred in unequivocally insulting terms to our institution”said the agency through a statement.
In that sense, he added that “the behavior of this public official is unacceptable, not only offends the memory of our recent history, but also contradicts the decorum and respect imposed by his high public office”said the agency through a statement.
It should be remembered that the former conventional Jaime Bassa shared a statement from the CCHDH on Twitter, which called to approve the new Constitution for its commitment to human rights.
Leturia delivered a criticized response to the constitutional lawyer. “What the hell is the Chilean Human Rights Commission?”wrote at 02:27 hours last Wednesday.
Controversial tweet: “There is no justification”
After that, the commission held that “More than anyone else, he should know that insults are not protected by freedom of expression or opinion, so there is no justification to exonerate him from responsibility”.
In this sense, he indicated that they must ask for his resignation from Leturia and requested that the Comptroller General of the Republic (CGR) analyze their behavior.
After the controversy generated by his statements, the helmsman of the Council for Transparency apologized through the same social network.
“I shouldn’t have expressed myself like that. I sincerely apologize to all the people that I could have affected with such a sensitive and relevant topic.he expressed.
