The undersecretary of the Interior, Juan Francisco Galli, assured in Cooperative that in the remaining days of October, including the holding of the plebiscite, Chile finds itself in a dilemma: violence or democracy.
In conversation with The Cooperative DiaryGalli said that “what we have emphasized is what we are at stake in the month of October (…) it is a dilemma that is very clear, which is democracy or violence.”
“October 25 is very relevant, which is the date on which we make concrete the promise that we made to ourselves as political sectors, as a country on November 15, when the peace agreement is signed, to summon citizens and ask them what was the way forward to get out of the violence that we were experiencing (…) and as the Ministry of the Interior we have adopted measures to safeguard public order, “he stressed.
The authority asserted that “We have been working since March and even before, when there were different demonstrations or alerts. These alerts already started with the PSU at the beginning of January, then with the first days of return to school in March, the first Monday could be a date when a certain alert of public disorder was generated.
“More than 3,500 carabineros have undergone retraining courses on human rights, in such a way as to strengthen not only police action, but also to incorporate the very clear distinction of those people who participate in demonstrations or exercise their right to demonstrate and assembly in accordance with our Constitution of violent or illegal actions that can occur in context or not demonstrations, but they have to be deterred, “Galli said.
Along with this, Galli stated that “I believe that support for the Carabineros institution must be transversalPart of the essence of a democracy in a State of Law is that there are police officers who are capable of giving effect to that right. “
“What corresponds is to support the action of the Carabineros, beyond the fact that naturally this must be done with full protection of the rights of the people,” he insisted.
