The results of the pressure exerted by the National Institute of Human Rights are beginning to appear in order for the Government to adopt greater measures in response to the victims of police violence.
Because although the ideal is that there should not be people in that condition, the body headed by Sergio Micco has insisted that the State must take charge of those who have suffered the violation of their human rights by State agents. Although the criminal responsibilities against those who have injured protesters are not established, as he raised in an interview with Publimetro, there must be reparation.
And in that sense is that this day the Minister of the Interior, Víctor Pérez, confirmed that President Sebastián Piñera will announce in the coming days “a whole recovery program.” This will be in addition to the plan established for people who suffered eye injuries during the blast.
The challenge now is for these programs to be effective, because as evidenced by an NHRI assessment, very few of the 352 people who received projectile impacts in their eyes received the aid.
Controversy over contact with victims
Asked about the statements of Undersecretary Juan Francisco Galli about the reasons for not having contacted Fabiola Campillai, Pérez said: “There have always been open channels to try to talk with the victims. There are some who have accepted this path and others who have not. “.
In the same vein, and due to the controversy that the statements raised, he added that the Government may “disagree with the NHRI, but the will and action of the Government has been clear in this regard.”
