This in reference to the reaction of the authorities to the stoppage and protests of truck drivers, which has been described as “soft” by parliamentarians; and just this Monday the Executive said that it “evaluates” invoking the State Security Law against the union.

After the appointment, where the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Hernán Larraín, also participated, The director of the INDH said that it is essential that the Interior Ministry clarify what the criteria are for the different types of protests.

“It seems essential to us that the Ministry of the Interior and Public Security clarify that point, what is the criterion, because effectively being in Temuco one finds that When there is a protest, a demonstration of people who support the cause of the hunger strikers, simply leaving the road means the irruption of the public force and in other cases it does not“Micco said.

The criteria, here the key for the Institute is that there is a single criterion for all cases“, he remarked.
