He PPD Senator Felipe Harboe demanded in Cooperative explanations of the Minister of the Interior, Víctor Pérez, for the alleged police intimidation suffered by the prosecutor Ximena Chong, who is leading the investigation into the incident in which a young man was pushed into the Mapocho River by a Carabineros official.

In conversation with What Remains of the Day, the former undersecretary stated that Pérez must go out to explain the facts, since “the command depends on the Ministry of the Interior. Obviously the general director (Mario Rozas) has to give explanations, but at this point he spends explaining the facts of his subordinates… The question is what happens? Is there no internal control? Are you aware or not aware? “

“This is extremely serious, I think this situation is getting out of control; it is unacceptable that a prosecutor who is carrying out an investigative work is subjected to threats, intimidation and even completely unjustified and baseless police rounds, “said Harboe.

Rozas “does not hold”

“What should happen is that the Minister of the Interior sends for the director general and says: ‘Explain to me what this means’, and he will have to have all the information. If you do not have all the information, it means that you are not in control of what is happening internally and that is very complicated, “said the parliamentarian.

Harboe regretted that right now “we have a situation of greater lack of control and that is very delicate for the country (…) It is the most delicate event that has occurred in recent years, because he is intimidating himself with the objective that something is not investigated “.

Along with this, the senator stated that Rozas’ permanence “does not hold”, and “the government should look at the situation to see some change.”
