He Minister of the Interior, Víctor Pérez (UDI), announced that the President Sebastián Piñera will announce within the next few days a reparation program for victims of police violence recorded in the context of the social outbreak of last October.
“There is a repair program to be announced by the President of the Republic in the coming days, “said Pérez after attending the Evangelical Tedeum held this Sunday in the commune of Las Condes.
This is disclosed after the Comptroller’s Office filed charges against seven generals of the High Command of the Carabineros for his alleged responsibilities in the irregular actions of the police, in the demonstrations during October and November 2019.
The controlling entity indicated that the generals had not guaranteed compliance with the protocols for the use of force contained in the internal manuals of the institution.
Controversy with the NHRI over the Campillai case
The head of the ministerial cabinet also referred to the controversy between the Executive and the Institute of Human Rights, after the Undersecretary of the Interior, Juan Francisco Galli, to point out that the INDH suggested that it not make contact with Fabiola Campillai, something that the agency denied.
Pérez assured that, from the Government, “there have always been open channels to try to converse with the victims, and there are some who have accepted that path and others who have not. “
“We can disagree with the INDH (National Institute of Human Rights), but the will of the government and the action of the government has been clear in that sense, “he said.
Eye Trauma Victims: “No Trust”
From the Ocular Trauma Victims Coordinator, there is skepticism about the program, since they assure that since they were injured, neither government nor Carabineros representatives have met with those affected to know their health status or collaborate in the rehabilitation process. They have even had to cover their therapies with community contributions.
“There is no trust, because when you don’t sit down with the victims to argue, to ask them what they need, it cannot be a program that effectively meets all the needs of victims“, said the spokeswoman of the group, Marta Valdes.
Therefore, the leader believes that “this announcement by the Minister of the Interior and everything that the Government says is to save the situation today. (Carabineros) kept shooting at the faces, they kept shooting without protocol, so this speaks of not going to stop, that this is going to continue and remain the same. “
In that sense, They ask the State to guarantee free health for all victims of eye trauma and a pension for life by the mutilation carried out by agents of the State. In addition, they consider that there will be no reparation while there is no truth and justice for the hundreds of people affected.
