“The image that we are projecting to the country while we vote on the education item is a lack of education for all Chileans”, he said bluntly.

Given this, Cariola responded that the recordings were going to be reviewed, but that the channel to make this type of claim was to formally present the problem to the Ethics commission.
Faced with the wave of criticism, the first to come out to give explanations was the improvised hairdresserwho pointed to the video leak.
“The discussion and voting on the National Budget is my priority, so remaining in the Chamber while that happens is my obligation and my responsibility. Were 30 seconds those that I allocated to an action within the Chamber that “It does not constitute a crime, misdemeanor or infraction of any kind.” Ñanco defended himself.
“I understand that this could have brought negative interpretations. My commitment is to Chile and to be able to legislate seriously. “I regret the mood of him or the colleague who spent nine seconds recording a video just to disparage our work.”he added.
Perhaps more noble was Deputy Giordano, who assumed that “I recognize that the act that has been aired on social networks was out of place. I understand that it has generated comments or negative interpretations He started saying.
“I could have left the room to order myself”he added in a semi-contrite tone, but chose to stay in order to “not lose sight of the issues that were being discussed because, as I said, that is my priority,” he excused himself.
The official parliamentarian maintained that his focus is on “legislate and vote seriously”and that the “nine seconds shown in the record” do not represent his actions in Congress.
“A few seconds later I intervened, Deputy Ñanco intervened and I believe that the commitment that we have requires much more than a nine second video to distort it (…) as reflected in the I have 98% attendance,” he concluded.
