SANTIAGO.- The spokesperson for the National Renovation party (RN), Deputy Nicolás Monckeberg, has said that his party with neither offer support nor risk the doubled votes in his sector for the independent campaign of Rodrigo García Pinochet in district 23: Las Condes, Vitacura and Lo Barnechea.
The deputy also stated that citizen support for García Pinochet´s campaign “would be completely overrepresented; meaning that it would be the worst favor he could do for the memory of his grandfather, because the people in that district are not going to risk the Alianza`s sole candidacy for the support they may have had for ex-President Pinochet”.
Monckeberg also admitted that the parliamentary aspirations of Pinochet`s grandson could affect the Alianza since, though he does not believe that Pinochet has a possibility of making it to Parliament or even obtaining an important...

SANTIAGO.- Following the arrest of María Verónica Pinochet, granddaughter of the late Augusto Pinochet Ugarte, on charges of battery against her ex-husband Miguel Morales Salazar (43), the man has stated that what most concerns him at this moment is the well-being of their daughter.
"I cannot leave her alone, she is seven years old and has a mother who is starting fights at every turn", he commented on Radio ADN.
He went on to state that "she started getting very aggressive and not only with me, but also with my other two girls, so I distanced myself from her but have never left my daughter alone with her. She expects me to come back to the house so she can say to me 'forgive me Miguel, it will never happen again'".

SANTIAGO.- The company NIC Chile, which is in charge of managing the country’s websites, has shut down a page dedicated to ex-President Salvador Allende being used to honor the man who overthrew him, deceased, ex-dictator Augusto Pinochet.
The site, salvadorallende.cl, was purchased by an attorney who supports Pinochet after the site’s previous Allende-supporting owners stopped paying for ownership rights.
For a few hours, the site dedicated to Allende was used to mock the political figure and exalt Pinochet, demanding that a monument to honor him be erected in the Plaza de la Constitución, in front of the La Moneda presidential palace.
The company NIC.cl resolved the situation by redirecting traffic to another page without a tribute to the former dictator (1973-1990).
Deputy Isabelle Allende, daughter of ex-President Allende,...

La jueza Eleonora Domínguez, titular del 33º Juzgado del Crimen de Santiago, interrogó durante la tarde de ayer a Carlos Capella y a Antonio Bathich, quienes serían testigos clave de la investigación a la financiera informal conocida como la Cutufa II.
La magistrada los llamó a declarar, según fuentes del caso, porque su relato es de suma importancia para certificar la denuncia que Beatriz Ugarte presentó, el 30 de enero pasado, contra el mayor (r) Patricio Castro, Gerardo Ariztía y otros, por estafa y otras defraudaciones.
El primero en aparecer en el tribunal fue Carlos Capella, a quien la mujer denunció por recibir supuestamente dineros para uso personal por 78 millones de pesos provenientes de Patricio Castro.
En el lugar, Capella declaró ante la magistrada por casi 1 hora y media.
Al salir, no quiso hacer declaraciones, y para evitar a la...
