02:59to open the document in my computer but it is a public order
03:03that Pedro Maliana has joined all the decisions that the president of the
03:13Republic Santiago Pena has taken since he started this administration in this
03:19government it was Pedro Aliana one of the great articulators of the laws that were
03:27approved in order to favor this bank it was Pedro Aliana who managed unenticulated we saw him here in the
03:38parliament trying to coordinate with the different banks here in order to approve or reject some of the reports that
03:50were asked and I'm seeing the document here so that I can explain fully
03:57in spite of in spite of in spite of in spite of the interruptions that I hear I am going
04:04to proceed
04:06Pedro Aliana has carried out a political operation in this banking crisis he knew about this crisis when he spoke
04:20on Monday to the media he said
04:23he said that Santiago Pena was trying to sell this bank as if he was the manager of this bank
04:34and he's admitting this he participated in the debate of the law of conflict of interest he was as president
04:48over 200 days over a year if you count all of the
04:53the trips of the trips of the trips of the president so president that is why we presented this impeachment
05:00request for Pedro Aliana the colleagues that are joining me will continue their explanation president
05:08go to the following deputy

05:51impunity for Santiago Pena this is a process of giving Santiago Pena his freedom
05:59he robbed everything and now you are going to talk about the the impeachment of mangi so that he can
06:15assume his president both need to go to jail because they have robbed the people the people outside are waiting
06:23for justice they have continued to say
