A tsunami of statements generated the news of the carabinero infiltrated in the Lo Hermida sector – Peñalolén community – assuring that he was part of the “first line” and that he was discovered by the neighbors because some time ago he had starred in a docurreality program in Channel 13.

The fact -revealed by a report by Cyprus prompted a statement by the Government. He Government Spokesperson, Jaime Bellolio, He pointed out in this regard that “the infiltrated agents are part of the Intelligence Law, not only in our country, but also in other countries that have an Intelligence Law. And I cannot pronounce on the operational aspects as such, but that It is up to the Carabineros. “

For his part, Minister of the Interior, Víctor Pérez, He defended the policeman and stressed that the official did not commit any crime by inciting residents of the town to commit crimes, as it was part of his mission. “He was in a context and he acted within that context (…) He was fulfilling a task and a mission.”

“He was ordered to infiltrate an organization and be able to detect those who were attacking (the Peñalolén Sub-Police Station) using weapons and Molotov cocktails (…) He is not infiltrated in a kindergarten, he is infiltrated in a criminal organization,” said the Minister Pérez.

Along the same lines, the Mayor of the Metropolitan Region, Felipe Guevara, He maintained that “you know that the Intelligence Law allows undercover agents to investigate certain crimes, and prevents the authorities from referring to specific cases of undercover agents who are working on an investigation.”

“Undercover agents are a legal activity, they are determined by the prosecution for their investigations and I cannot refer to the specific case,” Guevara added.

The closed defense of the Government also generated a harsh response from the opposition that indicated that this support reinforces the constitutional accusation against Minister Víctor Pérez, according to the Deputy of Social Convergence, Gabriel Boric.

“The statements of the Minister of the Interior Víctor Pérez supporting the infiltrated Carabinero who encouraged attacks on the Peñalolén Police Station are extremely serious and reinforce the Constitutional Indictment that we present against him. The opposition must act together to stop this (…) As Iván Flores said, I hope that this time no parliamentarian will shake their pipes, ”said the Magellan parliamentarian.

Inspection offices

Meanwhile, the Senator Felipe Harboe (PPD) It considered that “intrusive techniques exist and are protected by law. It is one thing to be an undercover agent (…) but it is quite another to incite acts of violence.”

“I believe that it is very important to elucidate the behavior of this person within the framework of this activity. Otherwise the intrusive measures begin to be distorted. It is not in the sense of an intrusive measure to incite the commission of crimes,” he concluded.

Furthermore, the ex President of the Senate and the Socialist Party (PS), Camilo Escalona He maintained on Twitter that “the Carabineros infiltrator in Lo Hermida confirms the worst repressive practices, that is, inciting violence and then brutally repressing the population. The criminal” Guatón Romo “did the same before the coup in 1973 and then went the most cruel sadist and torturer “.

The Communist Party (PC) deputy, Camila Vallejo. Through her Twitter account, the parliamentarian criticized that “they fill their mouths with violence, but when @Carabdechile literally calls to burn police stations, the silence is total.”

“And the absolute condemnation of those who incite violence? It is clear who have been the main inciters and who justifies and protects them,” he added.

In the Chamber of Deputies they also took action on the matter and at least two parliamentarians dispatched audit reports. He deputy for Humanist Action, Tomás Hirsch, which represents the Peñalolén commune, stated that “it is serious that an agent is inciting acts of violence”

The parliamentarian requested information from the Ministry and Undersecretaries of the Interior, the Comptroller General of the Republic, Carabineros de Chile, Civil Registry and Identification, Electoral Service and the INDH. Among them, it aims to determine whether the acts carried out by the agent were financed by the budget of the Intelligence Law.

“This agent was inciting acts of violence. The question to the different State organisms is, can they do that? Who was financing it? With what instructions was this agent acting? Having two identity cards, one real and one false, can you vote twice? What do the Servel and the Ministry of the Interior say about these irregularities? Will the NHRI complain about the situations of violence generated by this agent of the State? ”He said. (CHECK DEPUTY HIRSCH’S AUDIT OFFICE HERE)

For its part, Commons deputy Claudia Mix He also sent inspection reports and pointed out that this fact shows how urgent a reform of the Carabineros is. “This situation occurs a few days after the commemoration of October 18 and in the midst of violent raids by the Carabineros in Lo Hermida. These are not isolated events, they are added to a long list of actions committed by Carabineros that demonstrate the deep deterioration of this institution and its null commitment to democracy and human rights. Its re-foundation is urgent ”, the parliamentarian complemented.

Mayor of Peñalolén: “It seems serious to me”

Meanwhile, the Mayor of Peñalolén, Carolina Leitao, He described as “serious” the fact that the uniformed man called for incitement to violence as an undercover agent.

In an interview with Cooperative radio, the mayor said that “it is one thing to have an undercover agent who participates in an organization and it is quite another for that person to incite violence and somehow end up being part of the attacks.”

“I understand that the use of undercover agents is allowed in our country as part of police intelligence work, I suppose that this has to be regulated to protect the rights of people, but also to generate successful investigations,” he added.

Finally, Leitao stressed that “the one who has to answer is the Carabineros, finally saying why this technique was used, or this method, which I believe is not the most optimal to obtain results.”

Splashed servel

The controversy also extended to the electoral issue, because when reviewing the Servel page the official is authorized to vote with his real name in the commune of San Bernardo for the next plebiscite, while with his fictitious name, Giovanni Arévalo, he can do so in the commune of Alto Hospicio.

In a brief statement, the Electoral Service clarified that it draws up a roll based on the information contained in the Electoral Registry. But he blamed the Civil Registry, noting that the register “is based (…) on the electoral data of all the people registered in the Civil Registry and Identification Service” and therefore this service is the one “in charge of verifying the veracity of the information it makes available ”.

In this edge also intervened Senator Alejandro Navarro, who filed a complaint with Servel. “The system has been violated just like in the dictatorship. Just as in the so-called Pacogate and the 7 thousand ghost Carabineros for a decade, today we have officials with two RUTs, authorized to vote in different communes by the Electoral Service ”, he said.

The parliamentarian wondered “How many times does this happen in reality, with Carabineros, PDI or officials of the Armed Forces? This must be supervised by the Servel, as it can lead to electoral distortions and intolerable fraud, which are crimes against democracy ”.
