translated from Spanish: Chadwick does complacent balance of the first year of Government and defends his new obsession: the preventive identity checks

A year fulfilled Sebastián Piñera as President of Chile. By what this weekend the Government has made balances of the positive and negative that has meant the, until now, second presidential term.
A face that was repeated in both Governments of Piñera was that of the Minister of the Interior, Andrés Chadwick, who analyzed these first 365 days: “during the 2018 the Government has managed to achieve three objectives that make a difference. We have concentrated on sort the House, then create a political and social climate of unity and third to start the country”, he said.
“The first year of this Government has been better for the Chilean than they were the previous years.” “This is a Government-backed citizen”, he added in an interview with the newspaper La Tercera.
One of the points that he touched was the low evaluation of the first year of Piñera, what Chadwick said that “obviously have a low assessment and I would eventually be able to modify it, but I am to see them deployed a thousand fulfilling my mission’s Chief of staff”.
“Citizenship is more demanding and more informed. In the context of the Governments in Latin America, we have a very good level of approval. “We are around 43% – 45%, allowing you to be able to develop a Government-backed citizen”, he said.
For Chadwick, this first year was responsible for “ordering the House”, which wants to continue in the second year, with his new obsession: the identity check preventive, which seek to update “both in the accuracy of cases of evidence that allow the” “control as cases that allowed the simple registration of controlled persons”.
On criticism of the preventive identity checks, indicating that will “arrest on suspicion”, and that it can generate more acts of racism or discrimination, Chadwick is sincere, acknowledging that “it is uncomfortable. But we can generate greater efficiency to the police in the control of crime. And that is a fundamental objective.”
“Efficient measures in public safety may mean subtracting freedom in personal behavior,” he added.
“If in a preventive control of identity police is located or suspects that a person can go with a gun, do we authorize it to review that person more than asking only the identity card? I think and feel as Government that we should allow it, because we are protecting the police and to the citizenship of a person that can cause very serious damage if, for example, you are wearing an item that can cause damage”, he said.
