The Minister of the Interior, Victor perez, assured this Saturday that the Government regrets what happened in the demonstrations in downtown Santiago, where a young man was pushed by a policeman from the Pío Nono bridge, although he pointed out that “We call on the national community not to anticipate trials while the corresponding investigations are carried out.”
“We deeply regret what happened yesterday,” said Pérez and maintained that “we condemn, as we have always done, all acts of violence and violation of human rights and we believe, therefore, that the investigations should be clear about whether or not the Carabineros protocols were complied with. “
The Minister of the Interior pointed out that “it is the Public Ministry and the courts of justice that must arrive in this matter, the Government, together with condemning the violence, the transgression of human rights, wants to express that Carabineros has made a lot of effort in the last time so that all its actions are within the framework of the protocols, respect for the law and human rights “.
Although, according to Pérez, “if these protocols have not been complied with, if respect for the law has not been complied with, there is no doubt that the respective summary investigations, judicial investigations will have to reach conclusions and decisions will be made at that time“.
“We call on the national community not to anticipate trials while the corresponding investigations are carried out, “he added.
“We are clear that public order is the primary function and Carabineros one of the instruments that the law has to protect it, because without public order there is no democracy possible, without public order the life of citizens becomes absolutely unviable,” he said.
Furthermore, the Secretary of State indicated that “the government has contacted the family of the victim, both the undersecretary of the Interior, as well as the undersecretary of Crime Prevention and all the programs we have to accompany the victims in acts of this nature will be applied. “
“We have taken each and every one of the necessary measures to clarify a situation that, we reiterate, condemn and deeply regret, “he concluded.
The 16-year-old adolescent who fell to the bed of the Mapocho river on Friday afternoon after being pushed by a police officer, is stable, confirmed this Saturday morning the director of the National Institute of Human Rights (INDH), Sergio Micco.
