He Chairman of the Communist Party, Guillermo Teillier, defended the strategy of his community to differentiate itself from the rest of the former New Majority in milestones such as the Agreement for Peace and the New Constitution (from November last year), the pact for municipal primaries and regional governors (last September) and the condemns the reappearance of vandalism in the Plaza Italia sector.
On the weekend, the parties that make up the command for the Approval “Progressive Convergence” –PS, PPD and PR– they condemned the “abuses of minority groups, which, taking advantage of protest scenarios, carry out acts of violence and destruction of public and private property“.
“This goes against social demand, generating distrust in citizenship“, they emphasized, highlighting its possible impact on the near constitutional Plebiscite.
He Mayor of Santiago, Felipe Alessandri (RN), even spoke of “lumpen” individuals acting as “city terrorists”.
“Very minor”
Teillier distanced himself from this type of qualification: “That violence is very rare. Here you want to connote a state of violence that I don’t think exists. So, How can I condemn a thing that was so minor? “, said the deputy in an interview with Third.
“The only thing left for those who are against the constituent process is to say that there is generalized violence and that, therefore, the conditions are not there. Nor has there been any such large demonstration in Plaza Italia; maybe the 18th (there is), I don’t know, but so far it is very minor compared to the above “, he pointed.
On the other hand, “they tell me: ‘Look at the damage that some did,’ but I say: ‘Look, Ponce Lerou received a fine of 60 million dollars. Those are indeed destruction. Before we start to condemn just like that, let’s say all the causes of thingsTeillier said.
“There are confrontations between the desire to demonstrate and repression”
The helmsman pointed out that going out to protest on behalf of the Plebiscite “depends on the wills of millions who take to the streets,” and insisted that, in his opinion, “there is no” situation in which “someone sinisterly intends to go violently into the street”.
“There are confrontations between the desire to demonstrate and repression. Do you think I like fires in supermarkets, in Metro stations? No, but those things happen“, he raised.
Guillermo Teillier also noted that publicly call to avoid violence in demonstrations “can be taken as double talk”.
“The Government and repressive forces such as the Carabineros consider that the protesters are violent; then, If I say that there should be no violence, it means that I say do not go out to demonstrate and that I will not say, because the right to demonstrate has to progress. What if I could say is that they try by all means to do it peacefully “, he indicated.
“As it becomes a synonym of violence with social demonstration, we cannot condemn the social demonstration,” he said.
“We do not answer for Venezuela”
Teillier also referred to the cross-cutting political criticism unleashed by the statement of the Communist Party that questioned the human rights report prepared by the UN regarding Venezuela.
“We made it clear that we condemn human rights violations. What we did was take a different look at the report, because it did not consider the attacks sufficiently to destabilize that government. But condemning human rights violence and following a process to uproot that is fine. I would like it to be like that in Chile, he explained.
“What has to be seen is the behavior here in Chile, because we do not answer for human rights in Venezuela. Excuse me! The one that has to answer is the Venezuelan government“, he claimed.
Looking at the polls
In conversation with Third, the helmsman also celebrated the result that the Communist Party is obtaining in the polls with its latest public performances.
“After having differentiated ourselves from the pact for Peace (November 2019), the Party has done well and it shows with its possible presidential candidate. (…) People want to be clear that they are not going to be deceived and the PC in that remains with a certain consequence, “he said.
The legislator stated that “When Daniel Jadue appeared as a possible candidate, several of the new Concertación came out to flirt with him. And the more they criticized, the more Jadue rose in the polls. It also happens that after the primary agreement was not reached, Jadue rose again Something is saying that“, he indicated.
He said that the position of the mayor of Recoleta in the presidential polls, “undoubtedly it causes discomfort to people who are anti-communists”, but their position “is a sign that something new is happening in Chile.”
