Diputados RN protestaron contra sticker de defensor público que simboliza la paz

Recently, lawmakers of Chile’s ruling conservative party, RN, staged a protest against a sticker put up by the Office of the Public Defender. The sticker features the image of a dove, which is considered a universal symbol of peace. However, RN legislators argued that the dove was a political symbol associated with the opposition, and its use by the Office of the Public Defender was a violation of its impartiality. The lawmakers also requested that the sticker be removed and for the Head of the Office of the Public Defender to be summoned to the National Congress to explain the reason behind the use of the symbol. It is important to note that the Office of the Public Defender aims to provide legal assistance to people who do not have the means to hire a lawyer. In light of this, the protest by RN lawmakers has sparked a debate on the neutrality of public offices and their use of symbolic representation. This incident highlights the need for further examination of the use of symbolic representation in public institutions, ensuring they remain impartial and neutral.
