Days after the constitutional indictment against him, the former Minister of the Interior, Victor Perez, said not regret leaving the Senate to join the cabinet and that he knew that supporting the police would have a political cost.
The former chief of staff reaffirmed his support for the uniformed police and said that they are “sent to the streets to confront public order. without being prepared and then they are persecuted very harshly ”.
In conversation with La Tercera, regarding whether there have been human rights violationsPérez pointed out that “there is no doubt that in the face of specific facts one can agree with that statement. I don’t deny it ”.
Statements shared by the UDI deputy, Jorge Alessandri, who also criticized the actions of the Prosecutor’s Office in investigations related to the actions of the Carabineros.
Regarding Víctor Pérez’s statements, the Democratic Revolution deputy, Maite Orsini, said that although they share that the police officials are not prepared, the former minister must take over the political responsibility for human rights violations.
Former Minister Pérez also pointed to those who criticize the Carabineros and they ruled for more than 24 years doing nothing but increase staff.
The former Interior Minister of the second government of Michelle Bachelet, Jorge Burgos, said that it is easy to see the straw in someone else’s eye and that Pérez is wrong.
Although Pérez had said last Tuesday that he would not be a candidate for anything, on Friday he presented his candidacy to preside over the UDI.
About that, the former senator said that Pablo Longueira convinced him and that “those are the contradictions of destiny.”
