The Chamber of Deputies issued a project that criminalizes incitement to hatred and denial of crimes committed during the dictatorship.
In this Tuesday’s session, the indications on sanctions due to lack of a quorum were rejected, so this issue must be settled by the Senate.
Deputy Gabriel Boric (CS) stated that “establishing open criminal offenses, which are at the discretion of an authority that in recent times has been quite described and even more so of its police, such as incitement to hatred, It seems to me that it can be dangerous and it can end up being a boomerang that ends in a greater repressive wave, as has happened in countries like Spain “.
“I don’t think that at this time, when there is no clear perspective on human rights, that we hope there will be and that we have to work towards that in Chile, it is advisable to legislate around greater repressive powers for the police “said the MP.
In the debate, the deputy Francisco Undurraga (Evópoli) stated that “what is called denialism, I would rather call it an ode to censorship, what is said is that it would be a crime to think and give an opinion in a certain way, that is, the moral police appear “.
For its part, Carmen hertz (PC) stated that “one of the most serious fallacies that has been publicized is that political ideas and positions are sanctioned with the type of denial.”
“They insist on the same old falsehoodsWe warn that there are at least 10 countries that sanction the denial of crimes against humanity, including Germany, Spain, Switzerland, among others, “he added.
For her part, the deputy Camila Flores (RN) made reservation of the constitutionality of the project, warning about a possible step to the Constitutional Court.
The initiative, which was entered during the government of Michelle Bachelet, passed to the Senate for its second legislative process.
The Chamber sent the bill that criminalizes the denial of crimes committed by the civil-military dictatorship of Pinochet for second processing.
The sanctions associated with crimes of incitement to hatred and violence were dropped.@Cooperative
