In the midst of the pressure in which the Carabineros finds itself, the general director of the institution, Mario Rozas, would have decided to apply surgery and proposed to President Sebastián Piñera the departure of between eight and twelve generals in the renewal of the High Command of the Carabineros.

As reported Third, the proposal of the new institutional command has already been sent to the President and the change could be carried out after the plebiscite of October 25.

Rozas’ decision contemplates retiring a part of the general inspectors and zone chiefs, with the aim of giving a “draft” to the fireplace and fresh air to the staff of the institution, says the same media , a change that occurs in the middle of a complex scenario for the Carabineros.

The entity is in the eye of the hurricane, under pressure to reform the institution and calls from the opposition demanding the departure of its director general for his response to the social outbreak and the human rights violations registered since October the date.

In fact, according to the latest balance delivered last week by the National Institute of Human Rights (INDH), 2,520 complaints have been filed since October and more than 90% of them are against Carabineros troops (2,340).

In addition, despite the shielding that the Government has given to the institution and its general director, the image of the Carabineros is going through its worst moment, with disapproval levels that exceed 60%, according to surveys such as the one carried out by Chile 21.

But the renewal of the High Command would not be the only card up Rozas’s sleeve, because – always according to Third- the axis of the new police ladder will be focused on training. In fact, the period in the Carabineros Training School extends from two to four semesters.
