Tension in the Judiciary and Progress in Accusation Against Grau
Chile is facing a day marked by allegations of intimidation in the justice system and political definitions in Congress. While judicial workers warn of internal pressures, parliamentarians are preparing to decide the future of a process against a former minister. In parallel, Mapuche culture takes center stage with celebrations for the seasonal cycle change.
The Organization of Judicial Workers (OTJ) denounced what it described as an "instrumental use" of removal files by the Supreme Court. A removal file is an administrative record used to evaluate the dismissal of an official from their position. According to the union, this practice constitutes an unprecedented act of hierarchical intimidation, raising alarms about independence and the treatment of employees within the Judiciary.
In the legislative sphere, the reviewing commission of the Chamber of Deputies confirmed that next Monday it will vote on the report regarding the Constitutional Impeachment against former minister Nicolás Grau. A constitutional impeachment is a legal-political procedure that seeks to determine the responsibility of high-ranking officials for possible legal or constitutional infractions. Representative Marcela Hernando, chair of the body, noted that after hearing from various experts, the group is ready to deliver its recommendation to the full Congress.
On the other hand, the Investigative Police (PDI) and a journalistic investigation have revealed new background information in the Verónica Sabaj case. The findings include a deleted message and a judicial appeal that have reactivated interest in the inquiries. These elements are considered crucial for clarifying the facts surrounding this ongoing judicial process.
Finally, the Mapuche community celebrates Wetripantu, or the Mapuche New Year, which marks the winter solstice and the beginning of a new life cycle. As part of the festivities, the Epew Collective presents the play "Mawün" (Rain) at the Teatro del Puente. The piece, starring actors such as Daniel Antivilo and Luis Dubó, arrives after an international tour through Europe and presents an artistic vision of the identity and future of this indigenous people.
