The President also referred to the proposal for Benito Baranda to release those detained for demonstrations after October 18 of last year, which he categorically rejected: “In Chile there are no political prisoners. The Government does not take anyone prisoner, it protects people through its force of order and security, detains those who are committing acts that may be criminal, places them at the disposal of the prosecution and the courts condemn The idea of pardons or release has been a very bad idea, that would be going over the courts of justice. Pardoning violent activists who burned the subway, churches or hospitals is a very bad sign. I ask all my compatriots to be clear: whoever commits a violent crime has to assume their responsibilities and consequences. Some deputies presented a pardon project and according to the Constitution, it can only be started in the Senate. “
Regarding the sayings of Luis Larraín of Freedom and Development, who maintained that on October 18 there was a “coup d’etat” and that power passed from the President to Congress, the president was in “total disagreement.
“There was no coup on October 18. If someone tried, I have no way of knowing. On the 18th there was a wave of brutal violence that caused damage to the body and soul of our country and that we have fought with all the instruments provided by law, but within the rule of law, “he said.
About the historical plebiscite of October 25 and the consultation regarding whether he was wrong not to lead a process that supported 78% of Chileans, Piñera explained that “My role as President was to guarantee an exemplary plebiscite to all Chileans and that the voice of the people was expressed in a transparent and free way. Now comes the most important thing, and our commitment is that the constituent process is also exemplary and leads us to good port, to a good Constitution. A Constitution that is a great framework of unity, stability, that does not start from scratch, that includes values and principles of Chilean society. ”
