In La Moneda, the formal presentation by the opposition of the constitutional accusation against the Interior Minister, Víctor Pérez, with the signatures of 13 deputies from the DC to the Broad Front, fell like a bucket of cold water.
After participating in a meeting of the ministers of the political committee, headed by the chief of staff himself, the Minister General Secretary of the Government, Jaime Bellolio, delivered a spokesman in which he questioned the offensive prior to the plebiscite of October 25 and pointed out that the libel against Pérez is “unfair and without foundation”
According to Bellolio, the accusation “makes us deviate from our focus, which is that we have an October of dialogue, of peace, of understanding, to the doors of the most relevant plebiscite we have had since 1989 “.
Bellolio insisted that there is no compelling legal reason that can support this constitutional accusation. “The opposition has just presented the ninth constitutional indictment, they have just broken their own record: nine constitutional indictments in two and a half years. An accusation that they were within minutes of saying that they would not present it if another person (General Mario Rozas) came out, ”said the spokesman.
The libel consists of three chapters and aims to control public order, the actions of the minister during the truckers’ strike and hierarchical control over the Carabineros, a topic in the fore after the new episode of police abuse on the Pío Nono bridge.
“They are only united by constitutional accusations”
Looking ahead, in La Moneda the bet is to convince some in the opposition to derail the advance of the libel. “There is always the hope that the majority will not be there to advance in that accusation and that is the work that must be started to do once it is presented (…), to work, to persuade, to convince the different parliamentarians regarding their decision . I have some degree of optimism “, said this morning the minister of the Segpres, Cristián Monckeberg, in Infinite Radio.
Monckeberg questioned that the opposition “unite around issues such as rejecting some bills or around some degree of constitutional accusations, which are not capable of agreeing to reach an electoral pact in the elections, which are very divided, that this is a consequence of the differences they have inside. “
The same thesis was deployed by Minister Bellolio, noting that “unfortunately we have had to get used to the fact that every time the opposition has an internal problem, they make a constitutional accusation; their primary pact, constitutional accusation, fails them; they have differences on the presidential candidacies , constitutional accusation; their bases criticize them for having reached an agreement on peace and the new Constitution, unfounded constitutional accusations. Unfortunately, the only way they have themselves to unite around something is by saying a constitutional accusation and asking for resignations “.
According to the spokesperson, this libel “adds to the legacy of a sad fragmented opposition that, having no political project, only unite around asking for resignations, making constitutional accusations that also waste a lot of time and also divert the attention of Congress. National, hours and hours, and what does it mean in the end. The public order challenge is much greater. “
In the ruling party they reinforced this look. The RN bench chief, Sebastián Torrealba, stated that “this constitutional accusation promoted by the opposition, the ninth if memory serves, shows that the only thing that unites them is the mud, the conflict, and not the construction of a better democracy for our country ”.
The National Renovation deputy stressed that this method of “political profitability” will not solve anything, and that today with more urgency than ever the law that modernizes the police must be approved.
“The misuse of political or institutional tools to make this situation politically profitable is very small, and above all the blackmail shows a gangster politics, rather than a policy focused on agreements,” explained the parliamentarian.
Unity sample
In the opposition, meanwhile, they celebrated the unity achieved in this action. “The citizens see, with legitimate reason and amazement, that no one responds. It is our duty as deputies, appealing to our supervisory powers, to pursue these actions of breach of the law. Being our duty, and as representatives of the citizens, today we enter this accusation against the Minister of the Interior, Víctor Pérez, “said Deputy Víctor Torres.
Meanwhile, the deputy and head of the communist bench, Camila Vallejo, stressed that “the opposition is united at this time against impunity, because it seems important to us that within the framework of our control powers we can advance in establishing the political responsibilities that Minister Víctor Pérez is responsible for this unequal treatment he has made regarding the demonstrations and mobilizations that have occurred in our country in recent months ”.
Meanwhile, the PPD Rodrigo González insisted that “there is no doubt that the three points of the Constitutional Accusation are highly justified, but this occurs within a framework of a body of Carabineros that for months and throughout this period has not been able to to defend public order, prevent violence, or enforce human rights. Continuously the indications and orientations that come from the Government are not obeyed by the subordinates of the Carabineros, so the need for a restructuring of the institution is fundamental ” .
