Chile ex-undersec admits 'huge mistake' in outing with official, defends blackout claim

Former Chilean Undersecretary Manuel Monsalve acknowledged a 'huge mistake' for dining with a subordinate official, but maintains his 'blackout' memory-loss theory, asserting it does not imply unconsciousness. The case appears to involve an internal investigation or legal scrutiny, though details remain unclear. This is a domestic political-legal matter with no immediate market impact.
