The fire was first set Republican Deputy Rep. Christian Araya, He pointed to Venezuela’s “drug dictatorship” and the persecution that exists in Cuba.
“In the case of Venezuelans, if we do not explicitly mention the origins of the drug dictatorship, how are we going to deal with this great drama, this catastrophe that our Latin America, especially women and girls, is going through? or escape persecution.Or in Cuba, for decades they have been persecuted, suffering from hunger and misery.Things must be said by name, ”he said.
However, his remarks were not well received by the audience, especially by his Chilean colleagues. front player Maite Orsini, A person who made a hand gesture during Mr. Araya’s speech.

more intense conversations Venezuelan Congressman Julio Chavez, He blamed the international blockade for his compatriot’s departure and refuted “foolishness”.
“We are not going to take the time to answer the stupid and disqualifying things that have been said here. We want to tell you that our country, Venezuela, is a country that welcomes immigrants,” he said.
“It’s not that Venezuelan immigrants want to go to other countries to resent your existence, but rather it’s a result of that criminal and brutal blockade,” Chavez said.
then next is next Senator Evopoli, Felipe Casto, “Whether in Cuba, Venezuela or Nicaragua, this Parlatino, whose first principle is to defend democracy, without focusing on the lack of democracy that is the real cause of immigration, is to advocate diversity and arguing that dictatorships must be tolerated.”
“They will forgive me, but the dictatorships of the 1980s are unacceptable, just as unacceptable are the Ortega, Castro and Maduro dictatorships. You don’t have to tell others that you’re stupid for thinking differently,” he countered.

“I would like to ask the gentlemen of Chile, did you go to the Mapuche people, did you go to the people who died in the Pinera crackdown, and the students who are still imprisoned in Chile and the president? I want to ask if they went to hear about it, the left does not exclude them, if there is a democracy the Mapuche people should ask the captives if they think there is a democracy in Chile,” he criticized.
