Chileans condemn OAS secretary general's visit
Santiago, Chile, Jan 10 (Prensa Latina) The Communist Youth of Chile (JJCC) described OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro as an accomplice to serious human rights violations in Chile.
The youth branch of the Communist Party of Chile (PC) argued that Almagro defended President Sebastian Piñera's actions against the widepread popular demonstrations in the country, even ignoring the denunciations from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IAHRC), which is attached to the Organization of American States (OAS).
The JJCC declared Almagro a persona non-grata to the Chilean people.
Almagro, who is visiting this capital, met with Piñera at La Moneda Palace on Thursday, where he expressed total support for the repressive actions taken by Chilean authorities against the popular movement that has taken to the streets since October 18, 2019.
