René Cortázar

René Cortázar is a Chilean economist and politician of the Christian Democratic Party. Cortázar has been accused of actively rejecting the enforcement of the Asbestos Convention while was minister in 1992.[1] Further, Cortázar has been accused by of acting in tandem with Pizarreño in suppressing journalistic investigations into the asbestos issue while he was director Televisión Nacional de Chile from 1995 to 2000.[2] The asbestos-related accusations against Cortázar came to the spotlight again amidst his candidacy for Constitutional Convention in 2021. His rival Valentina Miranda said of him: "René Cortázar covered up the asbestos genocide [sic] and does not deserve to be a constituent".[3] Cortázar's candidacy was ultimately unsuccessful despite being the one that received most donations.[4]
