This Wednesday, a group of UDI deputies requested an investigation against the National Institute of Human Rights (INDH) for an alleged misuse of public resources.
The The request was presented to the Comptroller General of the Republic due to the seizure of the campus maintained by the Coordinating Assembly of Secondary Students (ACES).
The union bench questioned the NHRI for not filing complaints or evictions from the property in the more than 5 months that the student organization has been within.
Likewise, they accuse a waste of public funds that the agency receives as a result of the lease of the premises, which – they estimate – would be over $ 28 million.

“If in all this time the board of directors of the INDH has not been willing to complain about the illegal taking of its headquarters, the only alternative that remains is for the controlling body to act and take action on the matter”, They argue in the UDI.
To this situation reacted Carlos Bellei, NHRI lawyer, who summoned the parliamentarians for their action, emphasizing through a video that the body “is an autonomous corporation under public law“.
For the latter, Bellei stated that the NHRI “does not adopt its decisions or pronouncements in response to undue pressure or public summons“, Adding that” we will continue to bet on dialogue as a tool and way of solving conflicts as we have proposed from the beginning. “
