The government spokesman minister, Jaime Bellolio, said that he would have loved that Carabinieri help the 16-year-old boy identified as AAA who was injured last Friday in the Pío Nono bridge in the capital.
For the fact, the policeman is in preventive prison Sebastian Zamora, who was charged with the crime of attempted homicide. He is accused of pushing the young man to the bed of the Mapocho river in the middle of incidents that took place in the Baquedano square.
“The carabinero approached the young man with his back, lunged diagonally against the adolescent, grabbing and propelling him, raising him over the railing of the Pío Nono bridge, making him fall more than 7 meters to the river bed,” said the prosecutor Ximena Chong in the formalization of Zamora.
Bellolio referred to this issue on Monday and pointed out that “I would have loved it to have been different and that there would have been a brigade, a group of carabinieri that could have immediately gone to the river ”.
This is because after the incident, the uniformed men present at the scene withdrew without giving help to AAA, who was assisted by other protesters.
The spokesperson added to T13 Radio that “what they (Carabineros) have said is that they called the fire brigade and the ambulance so that they went to a healthcare facility ”.
Along with this, he said he had communicated with the young man’s grandmother and mother.
“October, I want to insist, we need peace, dialogue, otherwise it is impossible that we can adequately submit to a plebiscite where there are some who just want to polarize, from the extreme left to the extreme right ”, he added.
AAA is recovering at the Santa María Clinic after suffering fractures in both wrists.
