During the demonstration, Brazilian human rights lawyer and Jadue’s wife, Anjuli Tostes, expressed her gratitude for the expressions of solidarity after unidentified individuals threw a bucket of red paint at the door of their home.

“We live in a dual world where there is light and shadow. We woke up this morning with this attack, but then we received very powerful messages of unity that fill us with joy,” Tostes told Prensa Latina.

This is not the first time the home has been vandalized since the former mayor is under house arrest for alleged crimes in the negotiations between the Chilean Association of Municipalities with Farmacias Populares (Popular pharmacies), a case denounced here as legal persecution.

The presidential candidate for the Communist Party of Chile (PCCh), Jeannette Jara, called on the authorities to investigate this action and find those responsible, both materially and intellectually, because these violent acts cannot be allowed to become normalized.

“Enough hate attacks in Chile,” she wrote on her X account.

The president of the PCCh, Lautaro Carmona, in turn, denounced that Jadue faces fascist hatred from those who do not accept different ideas and recalled his position condemning the genocide committed by Israel in an attempt to exterminate the Palestinian people.
