During the night of this Sunday a press point was held at the Palacio de La Moneda. In the instance, the Minister of the Interior, Victor Pérez, referred to the events that occurred during the day, in the context of the anniversary of the social outbreak. The minister highlighted the work of the Carabineros and the PDI. Above all, in its mission to protect metro stations, public transport buses and all critical infrastructure.

After the intervention of the minister, it was the turn of the General Director of the Carabineros, Mario Rozas. “Today it has become clear who the criminals are, who the vandals are,” he said. “The criminal action has been evident,” he stressed, referring to the day. The Carabineros leader pointed out that “for some time to date we have deployed 40,000 carabineros throughout the country.”

General Rozas pointed out that Carabineros carried out several preventive actions

“With our prevention action, many actions were inhibited (…) Until now, the deployment of control and prevention has been according to plan,” added the general. Like Minister Pérez, Rozas stressed that there is still half the day left. Sobe the remaining hours, said that “we hope that good people cooperate with us.”

Although no figures were released, the director general said that “until now we have registered detainees. There is already a number.” But he did not detail the number. “Our police officers have been present and we have several injured fulfilling their duty,” he explained.

When asked about some guilt a year after the outbreak and after various criticisms of the institution, including international reports of human rights abuses, Rozas said that “we are always evaluating our procedures and making a self-criticism.” “We always want to improve to provide greater and better protection to our compatriots,” he concluded.
