The mayor of Santiago, Felipe Alessandri, explicitly asked and joined several voices – calling for a substantial change in the Carabineros, at least in their strategy to control demonstrations in the capital. The mayor of Renovación Nacional entered the discussion about the future of the police forces after yesterday a group of strangers turned tables in the Lastarria neighborhood sector.
“The vandals changed their behavior. They concentrated us in Plaza Italia. Yesterday the Plaza Italia and La Moneda were protected and the axis up to Teatinos was left devoid. That caused them to enter us through Lastarria and the other perpendicular streets that enter the historical case, generating destruction, looting, “said Alessandri, assuring that he has asked the regional mayor” to change our strategies. “
Faced with criticism arising from the way the police operate, such as the entry with water-throwing cars chasing the protesters who come from Plaza Italia, Alessandri emphasized that “we will have to change the protocols, clearly what happened yesterday is that the prevention measures that we had (…) that is why I already spoke with the metropolitan mayor to meet and review the protocols. “
“This is not solved with more violence or more repression, it is solved through dialogue and with the legitimate use of force that comes every time there are excesses like the ones we saw yesterday,” he closed.
