The sad story of suspense that keeps Deputy Interior Minister. 
is the first national majority. After three years of age he learned that his father also an MP, died "in a run." 30 years after he learned the truth: it was shot a dozen shots at the beginning of the dictatorship
.
It transformed into the character of the week after the riots in the House of Representatives with Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter, such a level that is on the line to the secretary of state, first because the senator presented a complaint against this Tuesdays and opposition MPs have threatened to refuse entry to the sittings of the House to the Secretary of State, if not apologize publicly. Another measure
bet MPs (if they Hinzpeter not public apologies Espinoza) is to leave the floor whenever it reaches the minister in the House or make a surprise protest against the interior minister. "We are exposed any minister to use that platform, with an anonymous, false and reviled for parliamentarians, as did Hinzpeter "said a parliamentary DC.
" So we can not ignore this situation, "he adds." reaching the final. At stake is the honor not only of Spinoza, but that's all. So democracy is degraded and perverted politics, "the deputy said indignantly DC already devising action against the stubborn Hinzpeter minister made a tepid apology on Thursday." Excuses to Hinzpeter "headlined the popular Daily News LasUltimas.
Espinoza is not easy to tame, "I called the party president, Fulvio Rossi, to tell me que Hinzpeter me invitaba a tomar un té a La Moneda. Pero no voy a ir mientras no se disculpe públicamente", ha dicho Fidel Espinoza.
Pero en la historia de Espinoza, siempre se ha destacado por enfrentarse a la derecha de manera decidida y sin tapujos. Los increpó por el tema del Transantiago en el 2008 cuando se negaron a aprobar los nuevos recursos; en abril de este año acusó al ministro de Mideplan, Felipe Kast, de intentar realizar una “limpieza étnica” en el Fosis y exigió al presidente Piñera explicar el nombramiento del gobernador de Bío-Bío, José Miguel Stegmeier (que finalmente no asumió por sus vínculos con Colonia Dignidad).
Su historia en la política
The foray into public service was first deputy national majority in the recent parliamentary election, began in 1995 when he worked in the Solidarity and Social Investment (FOSIS) of the X region, until 1998. In the years 1996 to 2000 was devoted to his profession of teacher in the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Lagos.
Later, in the years 1998 to 2000 he was regional secretary for Transport and Telecommunications, Tenth Region. In 2000 to 2001, Head of Administration and Finance Division of the Regional Government, GORE, Tenth Region, and in the years 2001 to 2002 he served as a researcher at the Center for Regional Studies at the University of Los Lagos in Osorno.
While still a college student was a leader at the University of Los Lagos, 1990 to 1994, from 1994 to 1996, was president of the Young Socialists in the province of Llanquihue, then regional president of the same. During the years 2000 to 2002, became president of the Socialist Party provincial Llanquihue.
also headed the campaign of presidential candidate Ricardo Lagos Escobar, District 56 and in December 2001 elected deputy, representing the PS, by the District, Region X, from 2002 to 2006.
In December 2005 he was reelected Member for the same District No. 56, which comprises the districts of Fresia, Frutillar, Llanquihue, Los Muermos, Puerto Octay, Puerto Varas Puyehue, Purranque and Black River. Just as in 2009 where he earned the first national majority of 120 deputies who are in parliament with 51.33 percent.
"I think that much of the percentage of that vote that I placed as the first national majority, is the work I've done in the field, with the social organizations, neighborhood associations, sports clubs, helping them manage resources and projects to benefit their organizations, to also benefit thousands of people in my area, "he says. His
large and dramatic pain
The December 2, 1973, at the beginning of the dictatorship in the sector Frutillar by police personnel and the Air Force, was killed at age 33, Luis Espinoza Villalobos, a member of the Party father of the current Socialist MP, who was only three years old when the incident occurred.
Three decades later, the only certainty that Fidel Espinoza was on the death of his father was the date he died. The only remaining doubt or, at best, suspect. The official noted that when he was transported from Puerto Montt to Valdivia, the truck was attacked near Frutillar for a subversive and their custodians shot in the dark of night. Amid the confusion, said the rough versions, had fallen mortally wounded.
But today is convinced that it was not. Today we know that his father was shot around 5 am that day on the road between Coihuín Pelluco and very far from where he had been told before, by order of an officer who was not present at the scene but gave "specific instructions to kill him" a pack of six police to have them now fully identified.
Not only that, he also knows the names of those who took him out of jail, who transported him and even those who fired the 12 shots that gave him in the chest, including an officer who lives in Puerto Montt, they call the "captain shrapnel."
All thanks to one of the members of the patrol, troubled by conscience, he wanted to fulfill a promise he made to his father hours before his death, and visited him in his office to tell the truth.
with an emotional charge that can barely control, the MP account these facts.
All names received from this informant apprised of Justice to reopen the case. For now, confirms the participation of only one of them, someone always suspected: "A police lieutenant known locally as John Shrapnel now, now retired, lives in a house opposite the 2nd Precinct of Puerto Montt, well protected by his conscience, I guess. "
"It has always been people who wanted to provide information, but have always been somewhat contradictory versions regarding the place of his death, people who said they had shared with him the last hours of his life. Finally, there were always people ... then, I thought he was one over which I had already heard. But this man sat in front of me and told me in letters that he had participated in the death of my father. The immediate impact was great, did not know Espinoza ...", how to react in an interview recapitulates some time to The Nation.
There was one detail that gave the necessary credibility to the informant's version. "He said he never had a clear conscience, not only by the death of my father, but also because my dad gave him a letter about five hours before he was shot, to be delivered to my mother," she says. That letter never reached its destination, it was lost in moving house. But others had arrived, his father managed to send his family in the months before his death.
"The saddest thing he had heard this was the way as killed. My dad was always a very sociable person, always full of friends .... and killed himself, was not even shot with a partner, "says making efforts not to falter.
Uberlinda
Luis Espinoza had at the time of his death 33 years and four sons, Luis Eduardo 12, Ramon, 11, Patricia now 9 and the deputy, Fidel, barely 3 years to date.
Despite his young age, the MP said he had engraved in his mind the day that police patrol came to his house to inform death, it came to the door driven by the desperate cries of his mother, kneeling on the floor, shouted murderers! by the police.
A story that was key to their colleagues in the House bank, ended up supporting the bill that would reduce penalties and to the exemption because of those witnesses of these facts that are willing to collaborate with justice. A former police anonymously gave details of the murder of his father. He himself had participated in the squad ... Fidel Espinoza
also learned other painful details, as the cruel torture he was subjected his father every other day, in a place where he has been many times, but never imagined that which has been used for such purposes : In the fourth floor of the government of Llanquihue.
"I know that this was the place where more were tortured and then taken as a package, even unconsciously, to the headquarters of the Investigative Police of Puerto Montt," he said on more than chance with deep regret. Today
kept in suspense to the head of government cabinet Piñera, for accusing him through an anonymous women using google paying only 40 thousand dollars a month.
"At stake is my honor and my family. Without apology, force me to take him to court" said the deputy.
is the brief history of the teacher and deputy first national majority and remember to this day on December 73 when a squad of police came to his house in the south and his mother was crying helplessly.
The police car to his mother informing him that the deputy Luis Espinoza was killed "by an escape attempt." Fidel was three and observe clearly that scene that marked his life forever.
On Thursday, Rep. Mary Hoffmann UDI naively asked Congress to "not know where it came from so much resentment of the Member Espinoza."
The answer is rather obvious ...
