The General Auditor of the Nation, Miguel Ángel Pichetto, referred to the Minister of Women, Gender and Diversity, Ayelén Mazzina, and assured: “The Ministry of Women is in the hands of a girl who is a lesbian, they could have put a woman“.
The reference from Together for Change spoke about Mazzina when asked in an LN+ program about the role of the Women’s portfolio in the case of Lucio Dupuy, since those convicted of the child’s murder participated in meetings of the feminist movement.
In this sense, When asked what the Ministry of Women is for, Pichetto replied: “It is in the hands of a girl who is a lesbian”. And she clarified: “She is fine (that she is a lesbian). I believe in individual freedom, I believe in the right to happiness and I voted for all the laws of equality.”
And he returned to his initial position: “But if it is the Women’s Ministry, they could have put a woman in. And they could have made a coherent statement”, after which the journalist Jonatan Viale replied: “She is a woman”, and Pichetto replied : “She is a woman with others… Yes, yes. It’s okay. I’m politically incorrect.”
“A woman who recognizes herself as a woman. Now you recognize yourself as Mapuche, a woman, binary… It’s a very interesting game,” she warned.
Mazzina responded to Pichetto’s statements
The Minister of Women, Gender and Diversity, Ayelén Mazzina, came out this Saturday at the intersection of the statements of the General Auditor of the Nation, Miguel Ángel Pichettowho stated that “they could have put a woman” in charge of said portfolio and invited him to talk about Comprehensive Sexual Education (ESI).
“I am a woman, lesbian, feminist and Minister of Women, Gender and Diversity of the Nation and I invite Pichetto to talk about ESI when he feels ready,” the minister published this morning through her Twitter account.

The head of the gender portfolio responded in this way to Pichetto’s attackswho last night criticized the ministry led by Mazzina for its position on the murder of Lucio Dupuy and said that it is not commanded by a woman, since she is a lesbian.
After the strong criticism that his statements received, the auditor general retracted on his social networks: “Given the misrepresentation of what I said on a television program, I want to clarify that my intention was to denounce that the Ministry for Women did not repudiate the murder of Lucio Dupuy because the sexual orientation of the minister coincided with that of the perpetrators of the crime.”

However, the minister had repudiated the crime, on which she had highlighted the need to “break the silence on violence against children“.
“Today I am talking about Lucio to break the silence about violence against children, in a context of hostility, hate speech, with a right that makes public debate difficult for us,” said the minister on this topic.
