Senator and president of the Republicans, Arturo Squella, reportedly apologized to former President Gabriel Boric after accusing his administration of having "taken everything" from La Moneda. Specifically, the party leader stated that "when it is said that there were barely 40 million dollars in cash, it means they took everything. It's that simple.
President Boric even took the social media followers. " Although this statement aligns with the government's narrative, which claims that the previous administration's poor fiscal management led to a fiscal crisis, Squella expressed his reservations about the former head of state. This was reported by The Clinic, which claims that the party leader decided to extend his apologies to Boric through a mutual acquaintance.
The publication notes that sources confirming the information chose not to disclose the details of the communication, while the former president's circle preferred not to comment on the matter. It is worth noting that at the time Squella made his remarks, he clarified that they were "figurative," which did not prevent him from being questioned by members of the Broad Front, such as former minister Giorgio Jackson and Andrés Giordano.
