Alvarado confirms he received Steinert security plan

Interior Minister Claudio Alvarado stated he received the national security plan prepared by former Minister Trinidad Steinert. Current Security Minister Martín Arrau said he used the document as a base for his presentation.

Alvarado stated Wednesday at La Moneda that on Tuesday, June 2, Minister Martín Arrau presented the plan’s axes in the Senate, including prevention, territory recovery, and legal initiatives. He confirmed receiving and reading the document. Arrau said Thursday morning that Steinert delivered a “bastante acabado” plan used as the base for the one presented. He noted he does not know why it was not made official earlier. Former Undersecretary Ana Victoria Quintana had indicated the plan existed and was sent to the Interior Ministry. Alvarado clarified that Steinert did not require authorization to present it.
