The rector of the University of Chile's Law School has placed responsibility on the accompanying team of Congresswoman Javiera Rodríguez for an aggression that occurred during a university event. The congresswoman, representing the Republican Party, had previously alleged "acts of provocation" and "misrepresentation" by those present during an activity at the Faculty of Law. The university's official response, communicated via an official letter, directly addresses these claims by pointing fingers at Rodríguez's own team.
According to the university's statement, the individuals accompanying the congresswoman were the instigators of provocative actions and misrepresentations. This counters any narrative that might place blame on the university or its students for the disturbances. The incident reportedly took place during an event where the congresswoman was present, leading to a contentious situation that has now drawn a strong response from the university's leadership. The rector's statement aims to clarify the institution's position and assign accountability for the disruption.
