The parliamentarian referred to the decree of the Comptroller’s Office that allows deployment in the non-authorized steps to combat coyotes, and reaffirmed that international coordination with Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia and Venezuela is necessary here.
“When situations involving border countries are not properly coordinated between governments, it causes populists to launch extreme ideas such as the construction of a ditch between Chile and Bolivia,” said Senator Alejandro Navarro.
According to the member of the Senate Human Rights Commission, “Minister Delgado has said that he will go to Colchane next week, that is, in several more days, with the danger that any use of force, any mistake by a member of the armed forces, could trigger an international armed conflict, after lack of coordination ”.
“Here we do not want a situation of violence to occur between the armed forces of sister countries, and even less against migrants, who come to Chile looking for better job options, to improve their quality of life and that of their families,” he said.
“For this reason”, Navarro continued, “it is necessary for Foreign Minister Allamand to contact the ambassadors of Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela, since ideology cannot be above human rights, and after that Sebastián Piñera reunites to the presidents of these countries in order to deal with this international humanitarian crisis, while coordinating the deployment of the armed forces on our borders, which is to say, they are there to patrol, not to shoot migrants in any case “.
The parliamentarian, who was the architect of the repatriation of 2 Carabineros detained in Bolivia in 2017, recalled that, “on that occasion, diplomacy was key, the management that we managed to do on the other side of the border with our Bolivian brothers, and that it meant that the government of former President Evo Morales returned our soldiers in a matter of hours. Something similar to what the former deputy Hugo Gutiérrez did, who offered his house so that the Bolivian soldiers detained in 2013 after crossing into Chile, could end the trial and return to their country after a month in jail ”.
For Navarro, “what our Government must do is to lead a joint action with the aforementioned countries and Interpol, requesting the help of international experts in combating human trafficking, to allow ending this business of bringing citizens from other countries to Chile, thanks to the coyote mafia ”.
“We need a specialized group that will fight them as soon as possible, be it the armed forces or the police, because we cannot allow this mafia to take over our borders, as has happened between Mexico and the United States, and that is transforming some areas of our Big North in gigantic migrant camp, who have arrived after the invitation that Sebastián Piñera made them in Cúcuta ”, he declared.
