Declarations of support and solidarity, but also an unprecedented and harsh internal questioning, to the High Command of the Carabinieri unleashed the information, published by BioBioChile, which reported an administrative investigation of the Comptroller’s Office of 7 generals in office for the actions of the institution during the social outbreak that began last October 18.
One of those who came out to question the Headquarters with the very general director Mario Rozas was the always controversial judge of Casablanca and colonel (r) of the entity, Mario Cortés.
Visibly upset, in conversation with BBCL The magistrate explained, in detail, why he believes that the Comptroller’s Office lacks the powers to prosecute the Carabineros disciplinary or administratively, because that would be an attribution of the High Command, internal to its legal framework.
He cited the Constitutional Organic Law N-18,961 of Carabineros, DFL 2 of 1968, the Staff Statute, Regulation 15, administrative, etc. “It is worth mentioning the responsibility that a police officer to a general may have in administrative matters. it is not the responsibility of the Comptroller, that in the law that regulates it, it does not assign any function in this regard with respect to the Carabineros, ”said Cortés.
“Here there is a notorious desire for figuration and an eventual interest in promoting the re-founding of Carabineros ”added the same magistrate about what would be behind the investigation.
Thus began his questioning … and did not stop there.
Lack of leadership?
The Casablanca judge pointed out that one of the problems of the police institution is that there is no leadership.
That, he explained in a straight line.
“My impression is that the Carabineros today it does not have a proper leadership. It is something beyond the insignia that an officer wears, it is that he must have ascendancy with respect to his staff, that he feels protected and respects him. In the specific case of the Carabineros, today it is serving as a fuse. In the face of any questioning against the Government, regarding an action, the head of two or three is immediately offered, who are discharged to calm the pack, ”said Colonel (r) Cortés.
“There has not been enough energy and will for the High Command of the Carabineros, with the exception of some officers, to have or give its personnel the support it corresponds to. There is no sense of support from the bosses in an institution that is hierarchical. We are turning Carabineros into a woolly sheep that whoever wants to get a bundle of wool can do so, and that is what the Comptroller’s Office is doing today ”, he added.
In specifying the criticism, the local police judge spins the finest and takes aim hard at Rozas, in person, in an unprecedented action.
“That leadership is missing. In practice, for those of us who have an emotional relationship with the Carabineros, this is very hard. But, the institution does not give the support it should give, the personnel are immediately discharged, they are not listened to, they are left without pay, they act with the Human Rights organizations, the Prosecutor’s Office or the Comptroller’s Office on top ”.
“Carabineros have no friends, they have only enemies. I am not empowered to comment on the continuity or not of someone, but if it depended on me I would evaluate the possibility of having another command of greater rigor ”, closed the controversial judge of Casablanca pointing, explicitly at the head of the institution.
“From the trenches of the past”
The one who came out to support the Carabineros and General Rozas included, was the Army colonel (r), prosecuted for violation of human rights and the former mayor of Providencia, Cristián Labbé, and in his capacity as president of CORYNAV, which is the organization which brings together the Colonels of the Army, Air Force, Police and Ship Captains of the Chilean Navy. At that level.
Through the letter sent to General Rozas, “By order of the directory”, CORYNAV gave “unrestricted support to Carabineros de Chile, its personnel and its history, in the face of the ignominious attack that has been subjected by the media as a result of an inexplicable intervention by the Comptroller General of the Republic and that affects to members of the High Command of the Institution and whose origin is none other than anonymous complaints ”.
He writes that “dear general, you and the members of the Chilean Carabineros know that these old soldiers of yesterday, from the trenches of the past, but with our hearts and strength in the present, we are with you because we see with concern how even from state organizations, the pillars of our nationality are undermined and freely wronged to whom we have sworn to serve the country, even to give up our lives if necessary ”.
“We reject with all force the complaints that affect the command of your Institution and we place ourselves at your entire disposal ”, he added.
“We reiterate dear General, our unrestricted adherence, with the certain hope that in our country the rule of law is not violated with impunity, ”said Labbé.
And he ends up giving an account of his unconditionality with the police institution in the difficult moment he faces these days, questioned and criticized, by so many, as never before.
