Víctor Pérez also referred to the threats suffered by the prosecutor Ximena Chong, in charge of the investigation into the case of the young man pushed into the Mapocho River by a policeman on the Pío Nono Bridge.

“What is the situation of the Carabineros today. We have a difficulty. No one was prepared to face the pandemic, just as we were not prepared to face the violence from which it started on October 18.
