The Minister of Defense, Mario OverflowsOn Monday, he detached himself from the “interpretation” of the lawyers of his pair of Interior, Victor Perez, who pointed to the portfolio that the former deputy directs today for the responsibility of control over Carabineros, a police force questioned for alleged abuses during the social crisis.
In his reply to the constitutional indictment that the opposition is pushing against him, among other points, for allegedly “not exercising the corresponding hierarchical control over the bodies subject to his dependence”, among which are the Forces of Order and Security, Pérez’s defense stated that within the framework of the state of catastrophe that governs the pandemic, these, among them Carabineros, are under the command of the Armed Forces, which depend on Defense.
Before the ad hoc commission that analyzes the libel against Pérez, the Defense Minister told the deputies that the control of public order at the hands of the Carabineros depends on the Interior and that has not changed with the constitutional state of exception.
“It is an interpretation that lawyers make, I do not share it. I must be clear on that, I do not share it, because I understand that Carabineros de Chile continues to depend on the Minister of the Interior, it does not depend on me“said Desbordes.
The former carabinero, who resigned from the militarized police in 1994, said that “in a joking tone I have told my fellow Carabineros that now I am going to take advantage of the fact that they depend on me for a few days to see who we went to retirement and who did not, but seriously, they do not depend on the defense minister.
He stated, at the same time, that “The defense chiefs do not share what the defense has indicated” of Pérez. “I’m not going to tell you anything else that is strictly true, but They have not complained, there has not been a complaint, but I can show them the WhatsApp“he added.
