Chile Vamos y republicanos anuncian interpelación al ministro de Educación y no descartan una Acusación Constitucional | Emol.com

Education Minister, Raúl Figueroa, is facing an interrogation from Chile’s opposition parties over his decision to reopen schools despite the ongoing pandemic. Chile Vamos and Republican parties have announced their intention to proceed with the interrogation and are not ruling out a possible impeachment. Figueroa’s controversial move has been met with criticism from parents and teachers alike, who argue that the schools’ reopening further endangers both students and staff. The opposition parties are arguing that the Minister’s actions are unconstitutional and a violation of the public’s right to health and safety. The decision to interrogate the Education Minister raises serious questions about the government’s commitment to public health and safety, particularly at a time when the pandemic is still raging in the country. Schools’ reopening has become a lightning rod issue in Chile, and recent developments suggest it will continue to be a source of tension between the government and its citizens. The public’s health and safety need to be a top priority, and the Minister’s actions, according to the opposition parties, have put them at risk.
