He Government spokesman minister, Jaime Bellolio (UDI), reiterated La Moneda’s support for Carabineros, Although he did not shed light on the continuity of the general director Mario Rozas, whose dismissal has been constantly demanded by the opposition and with more force since Friday, when a child under 16 years of age fell to the bed of the Mapocho River after being attacked by a policeman since the Pío Nono bridge.
Faced with the questions that are once again hardening against the uniformed police, the government spokesman said that “the work they do is irreplaceable; a democracy needs control of public order, therefore I regret that there are some people who insist on wanting to dismiss the Carabineros“.
“When they hurt the Carabineros they want to leave them at the mercy of what, of the autotuleta, that we go back 500 years, of criminals, drug traffickers, hooded?”, He placed in an interview with the “National State” program of TELEVISION.

Yes announced that accelerate the process to reform the police institution.
Regarding the continuity of Rozas, Bellolio responded to understand that “there are some who say that they take it out, but the question is what do you want to achieve“, without giving more light on whether the police chief will continue to command the Carabineros:” It does not correspond to me; it depends on the evaluation made by the President and the Interior Minister. “
“THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR A CHILD ENDING IN THE RIVER”
Regarding what happened on Friday, the spokesperson stated that there was “a very violent demonstration that has been repeating itself for several Fridays, and that helps to understand why the Carabineros should act, but there is no justification for a 16-year-old to end up in the river. “
He asserted that he made contact with the grandmother and the mother of the young protester, to whom he made known the interest of the Government so that the fact be investigated and judged.
He also referred to the lack of assistance reported by the police for the minor. Bellolio said he had found out and, according to him, “those who entered (other protesters to help) were on the sides, and it was quicker to do so; but there are recordings of the police themselves calling for the fire brigade and the ambulance to arrive.”
CONSTITUTIONAL ACCUSATION AGAINST PÉREZ, “WITHOUT FOUNDATION”
He also lashed out at the constitutional accusation against Minister Pérez, who will reactivate the opposition, an intention that has resurfaced precisely as a result of the case of a policeman pushing the minor.
Although he admitted that it is an attribution of Congress, Bellolio? Criticized that “it will be the ninth accusation” during this legislative period and believes that “It will be the sad legacy of that fragmented opposition, that every time they have a dispute among themselves, they only unite by making an unfounded accusation.”
“During the week they went crazy after failing to reach an agreement among themselves in the electoral pact, and therefore they found a new way to unite around saying ‘no’ to the Government, to block, and what has it done and What’s the use, besides continuing to polarize? “
In the opinion of the spokesperson, “October has to be the month in which we can open the dialogue”, because it will have the constitutional plebiscite, and before that it will be the first anniversary of the social outbreak. “Instead of continuing to polarize, it has to be the opposite,” he urged.
