Contrary to the manual of the fuse, which in a context of political crisis sacrifices the lower-ranking position to preserve the superior, the Government has preferred to shield Rozas than its own interior ministers, thereby dragging itself into a state of fragility that in Instead of rebounding, it gets worse.

Before exposing yourself to a dismissal in office – which can happen anyway ex post-, The Government has preferred to sacrifice Víctor Pérez, the Minister of the Interior who had only taken office three months before, in the midst of the umpteenth crisis in the Executive. Too short a period for those who left the place they had comfortably occupied in Congress for 30 years, since March 11, 1990.
Pérez fell, as Gonzalo Blumel and Andrés Chadwick, whose constitutional indictment was also approved once he left office, staggered. Since the so-called social outbreak of October 18, 2019, fragility is inherent in the position of Minister of the Interior and, we anticipate, it will happen in the same way with the successor or successor, at least if the Government chooses to face the accusations in the same way. performed against the charge.
Against the charge. Because, being extraordinarily similar, the accusations against the interior ministers of this government have ceased to be merely against people, to become a structural issue. A separate issue is whether the figure of the constitutional prosecution is hackneyed or if the opposition are deserving of criticism for their behavior, but there is something that cannot continue to be ignored, and yet the political authorities have done it: the actions of the Carabineros during the demonstrations it has been countless times unacceptable, repeatedly illegal and infringing on human rights. The list of situations for which the resignation of General Mario Rozas has been requested is so long and serious, the perception that the drop exceeded the glass has been repeated so much, that after the loss of the capacity for astonishment the director of Carabineros have even allowed themselves to feast on all the times that their departure has been invoked.
Here a contradiction emerges that lacks political rationality. Contrary to the manual of the fuse, which in a context of political crisis sacrifices the lower-ranking position to preserve the superior, the Government has preferred to shield Rozas than its own interior ministers, thereby dragging itself into a state of fragility that in Instead of rebounding, it gets worse. Beyond its infeasibility, the hashtag #EleccionesAnticipadas is number 1 at the time of writing this article and reflects a very unusual state of mind in Chilean politics.
During this period, the Government has had successive opportunities to distance itself from the Carabineros’ disrepute, but it has preferred to tie both luck. With his statements, time and time again, he has not only supported the institution’s boss, but he has also avoided criticizing aberrations such as the launch of a teenager from the Pio Nono Bridge into the Mapocho River. It is difficult to understand how, this very morning and during the indictment, and after all the graphic evidence, it has continued to be implied that it was a fortuitous event.
As of today’s events, the Government has entered a phase of fragility that is not good for anyone, but for which it is at least partly responsible. In order to be able to face the next scenarios, it is worrying that there is insistence on a rhetoric of victims and objects of injustice, a story for which all the blame is on the adversaries, as radicalized and obstructionist. The truth is known by almost everyone: the main problem of the Executive is not in Parliament, but in a citizenry that in its overwhelming majority rejects the performance of the Carabineros. And that he has asked since October last year that the Government interpret his wishes, without success.
