After the emergency meeting in La Moneda with official politicians, the mayor of Lo Barnechea Felipe Guevara recognized that the Touch of Alie was “an option” while The Mayor Karla Rubilar stated that it was a “decision of General Javier Iturriaga. At the same time, an audio was leaked with the voice of President Sebastián Piñera acknowledging that the decision was made. After 1845 hours the President spoke to confirm that he suspended the rise of the Metro passage, the germ of the demonstrations and left in the hands of General Javier Iturriaga the decision of a Touch of Queda.
Precisely the general appointed Head of National Defense Javier Iturriaga, announced that the Touch of The Sea will rule from 22 hours this Saturday until 07:00 hours in the morning of Sunday. The decision implies restricting free movement through the streets during the hours governing the measure and the person who does so risks being arrested.
“Having analyzed the situation and the dismantling and taking into account protecting people, I have made the decision to restrict personal freedoms in the provinces of Santiago and Chacabuco in addition to Puente Alto and San Bernardo. Restriction of freedoms states that people must be in their homes and whatever they need must ask for safe conduct. This document empowers them to move around and is the one that will be requested by the public. Control is made by Carabineros and the POI,” Iturriaga said.
