During the debate, part of the ruling party indicated that limits would be placed on freedom of expression, and according to Diego Schalper of RN “Here a historical denial is sanctioned and not a current denialism”, since the same parameter is not applied with respect to those deny human rights violations currently happening in the world“.
Carmen hertz, for its part, specified that the rule applies to “the denial of specific acts of human rights violations recognized by the Chilean State, which cannot be repeated. “
In addition, the PC deputy regretted in her count of Twitter that indications against incitement to violence and hatred were not included “by sexual, ethnic or political identity“.
The penalties will be minor imprisonment in its medium degree, that is, between 541 days and 3 years, but if the person responsible is a public official, it will increase by one degree.
