At the end of the inauguration of the Commission for Monitoring the Upper Audit of the Federation, the Minister of Public Function, Virgilio Andrade, reaffirmed that the investigation on the so-called "White House," which involves first lady Angélica Rivera, is a closed case.

"Legally is a closed issue as we have said. Of course, we are always subject to public scrutiny and, in this case, to the scrutiny of the lawmakers," he added.

In an interview, when asked about is the controversial residence will be one of the topics for his presentation before lawmakers next Thursday, Andrade expressed that he is responsible for presenting the truth before Congress.

"We will respond to any questions that the lawmakers might have the legislators in the healthy exercise of plurality that we have today ... That's precisely what the democratic way of life that is reflected very intensively in Congress is all about," he added.

On the other hand, the president of Congress, Luis Maldonado, from the leftist Democratic Revolution Party, expressed that the Chamber of Representatives considers the investigation very much open, and it will be the main topic on the presentation of Andrade.
