The Senate Board rejected the statements of President Sebastián Piñera and members of his cabinet, that the National Congress would have attributed the bad results to face organized crime, during his second government.
“The Senate Board categorically rejects the statements of the President of the Republic and members of his cabinet, which have endorsed the National Congress, their responsibilities in the absolute failure of the Government in the fight against delinquency and organized crime ”, they indicated in a statement.
During the afternoon of this Sunday, Piñera held a press point where he presented a project to reform the crime of illicit associations, raising a division in this figure, incorporating “the criminal association and the criminal association.
On the occasion, Piñera said that the Government has carried out several initiatives and bills on citizen security, many of which have been in Congress “for months and even years.”
“This project joins many other initiatives that we have adopted in our Government, such as the safe northern border plan, the new immigration law, the program chooses to live without drugs and a robust agenda to strengthen public order and citizen security, which has been pending for months and even years in Congress, such as the law that modernizes the Carabineros, the one that creates a new intelligence system, the law on arms control, the law on drug trafficking, the law against terrorism, the law on the status of the police, ”said Piñera.
Undoubtedly all these laws are urgent and necessary and require prompt approval by Congress, because experience shows throughout the world that only with strength, will and courage and with a sense of urgency in action, will we be able to control organized crime ”He added.
Words that would have bothered the Senate Board, who indicated that holding Congress responsible for crime problemsa “completely lacks verisimilitude, that it is the lack of legislation that prevents the prosecution of these crimes ”.
“Despite the efforts that have been made in the Senate, within the Public Security Commission, from which roadmaps and proposals for a comprehensive and thorough reform of the Carabineros de Chile have emanated, the Government has not yet presented for discussion the bills required to substantially improve the legitimacy and professionalization of the institution “, they stated in the statement.
The Senate also indicated that security projects have advanced in both chambers at different stages, but that there has been inaction on the part of the Government in its role as co-legislator.
“A clear example of the government’s inaction on these issues is that today, it announced the sending of a bill on organized crime, which it had already publicly compromised at the beginning of November. Is worth to say, in more than 45 days it did not specify any initiative and it has only done so before the contingency, after the events of Maipú ”, they expressed.
