With four votes in favor and one against, the parliamentary commission approved recommending the constitutional accusation against the Minister of the Interior, Victor Perez, which questions the chief of staff for his role in the trucker strike and hierarchical control over the Carabineros.
⭕️ NOW | Review commission of the #constitutional accusation against the Minister of the Interior @victorperez_v recommends that the Chamber approve the libel.
The deputies voted in favor @carvajaldip, @abernales, @jennyalvarezv Y @Diputadofmeza.
Against the deputy Joaquín Lavín.
– Deputies and Deputies of Chile (@Camara_cl) October 29, 2020
Deputies Loreto Carvajal (PPD), Alejandro Bernales (PL), Jenny Álvarez (PS) and Fernando Meza (Ind.) Voted in favor. The vote against was Joaquín Lavín (UDI).
Parliamentarians also approved that the deputy DC Gabriel Ascencio sustain the constitutional accusation in the Chamber, when it is reviewed this Tuesday, November 2.
The constitutional accusations empower the deputies to initiate a process that seeks to establish political responsibilities of high public officials, and can lead to the dismissal of the accused or their disqualification from holding public office.
To take effect, this petition must now prosper in the Chamber of the Lower House and later enter the Senate, where parliamentarians will act as a jury, approving or rejecting it.
Another accusatory libel managed to disable last December Andres Chadwick, head of the Ministry of the Interior during the beginning of the current social crisis and resigned at the end of October, for his management of public order during the demonstrations.
Libel details
The constitutional accusation against Pérez, of more than 80 pages, has the signature of the deputies Gabriel Ascencio (DC), Gabriel Boric (CS), Jorge Brito (RD), Carmen Hertz (PC), Tomás Hirsch (PH), Rodrigo González (PPD), Pamela Jiles (PH), Jaime Naranjo (PS), Luis Rocafull (PS), Camila Rojas (Comunes), René Saffirio (independent), Alejandra Sepúlveda (FRSV) and Víctor Torres (DC).
The accusation is divided into three chapters where Pérez is questioned for his management during the trucker strike at the end of August and for its hierarchical control over Carabineros, which was reactivated after the case of the 16-year-old teenager who fell to the bed of the Mapocho River after being pushed by an official of that establishment last Friday.
Specifically, the libel makes the Secretary of State responsible for “having stopped executing the laws in matters related to public order”, “having infringed the Constitution or the laws, violating the fundamental right to equality before the law”, and “having stopped executing the laws, by not exercising hierarchical control corresponding on the organs subject to its dependence “.
