“Another thing is with guitar” says a popular saying, and today it fits perfectly for what Rodrigo Delgado is experiencing after his arrival at the Ministry of the Interior. This Sunday he met with the Association of Municipalities of Chile (Amuch), in which the document “A new municipality for Chile” was released, with proposals that seek to be included in the constituent process to strengthen the role of mayors.
In the instance, several of his peers made him see their concerns, the same ones that he himself shared until Wednesday, when he served as mayor of Central Station. And he was attached to them, willing to solve them and emphasizing that the role he will play, and for what he was asked to assume the position, is to be “‘where the potatoes burn” “.
“That is what led me to this position and I cannot disappoint my former colleagues or the community,” he said.
On the occasion, Delgado also responded regarding the reasons for the continuity of Mario Rozas as general director of the Carabineros, assuring that “within a few hours that I arrived (to the position in the Interior), General Rozas presented the High Command of the Carabineros to the President and the President approves it. Therefore, my scenario to work is with the high command that have been approved, that are in force and I cannot waste time, but get to work with them precisely in giving them my seal and the citizen seal also so that the police can have that legitimacy that is so much required, that arrival in Chile and Chile that is so required and for that I will work tirelessly “.
Faced with the reform itself, he indicated that “the reform of the Carabineros for me is key, of the police and of the State in general (…) This is not the responsibility of the current government, in Chile we have a State that gives 80 responses to demands are millennials and that’s the big point. We have to ensure that the State can respond tomorrow in a much more efficient way to citizen demands, that is the challenge. “
Delgado and the constituent debate
Regarding the new Constitution, Delgado insisted that “this constituent debate, I have always said it and that is why I voted for approval, is a tremendous opportunity to modernize the State. When I speak of the State, obviously I also speak of the municipalities, of the police of the different departments that have to be more connected with the citizenry, the priorities of the people must be the priorities of the Government “
“The priorities of the people must be the priorities of the government and they must also be the priorities of that new Constitution” and that “one of the most important things is territorial equity,” he added.
