Political analyst says that dirty campaign comes from Motta Group

"What I tell the Motta Group and Mr. Heras (s) that I am not a man who they will frighten, at this point in my life"

That was the reaction of political analyst Jose Isabel Blandon, during an interview on a radio medium, referring to the former Minister of Finance and Treasury Miguel Heras and Motta Group, the main donor campaign of President Juan Carlos Varela.

According to the analyst, who claimed to be a victim of slanderous attacks to discredit, they are above these figures, those directly responsible for the campaign that has been feeling against critics of the current government administration, which include.

The father of the current City Mayor explained that these attacks against him and against the journalist Alvaro Alvarado comes after complaints from companies that participated in a tender for a gas-fired thermoelectric plant, which won the Motta Group.

In fact, he said that the smear campaign was born in National Television (TVN).

"I come from many wars. This is a war over the thousands that I've been through in my life, and I am a humble person, but what I have is my honor and I will not allow Mr. Heras and Motta or none of them come to attack that because I'm going to face, because it is not a problem of millions (...) they can be billionaires and I may be clean, but I have enough talent and probably have a lot more talent than them will defend myself, "he added.

Blandon hereby consulted on the issue and said he was quiet and not at all concerned about audio circulating against him, because he said accustomed to the sources of power, whether economic or political, launching attacks when they are criticized.

"He don't attack me, I'm assured that what they are saying is a lie", he explained .

Blandon issued a challenge to former Minister Heras, asking him to be the one who choose the place to discuss allegations that make him so stop saying "slanders".

"He  can choose the media he want, in television, radio, in the park, anywhere, and  hold a debate with me face to face with his accusations so he will stop be saying lies", he said.

The analyst said that after rumors circulated an audio in social media against him, he has not received any call or pressures, as said "do not dare to".
 
"They did these anonymous audios about completely false things", he reiterated.

The analyst added that "I do not shield behind any journalist or shield, I personally do my affirmations".
