The Carabineros version
From the aforementioned institution they also defended themselves. Through a statement published on its social networks, Carabineros says that “in relation to the administrative summary carried out by the Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic, on events that occurred between October 18 and December 31, 2019, it is reported that, as It has always acted before the controlling entity, the information will be provided that allows the development of the proceedings it carries out “.

This meant a high demand and, consequently, a demand without precedents on the human and logistical resources available to the Chilean Police, as it was publicly known. “
“Despite these difficulties, with Carabineros injured, barracks attacked and vehicles destroyed, our institution maintained its commitment to social peace and public order,” they conclude.
The summons of Mario Rozas
After the publication of this summary, the general director of the institution, Mario Rozas, summoned the High Command to a meeting.

“Comptroller, who are you after?”
As a result of this summary, the UDI deputy and member of the Security Commission, Jorge Alessandri, called on the Institution to search for the true perpetrators.
This action began after receiving several complaints from organizations that asked to clarify the responsibilities of the Carabineros generals in the events in which civilians were seriously injured.
“Only in our Chile one can see this kind of thing; we saw more than forty Metro stations burned, we saw more than 300 supermarkets looted and vandalized; we saw public and private infrastructure burned. And today the Comptroller’s Office, who is it persecuting? Seven generals of the Carabineros ”, said Alessandri.
The deputy also called that “the courts of justice must prosecute those who really did damage, and obviously, if there is a protocol that was not complied with or if there is any abuse of force in the street procedures, it will also have to be seen by the administrative and judicial route. The Comptroller’s Office does not contribute with this action, neither to social peace nor to the clarification of the extreme violence that we experienced from October onwards ”.
