translated from Spanish: And where is Chadwick: the absence that highlights the political vacuum that reigns in The Currency

There were too many spaces between one and the other appearance of the different authorities of La Moneda in the midst of a political and social crisis never before seen since the return of democracy. Amid the chaos that reigned in much of the national arena, from Friday and until the early hours of this Sunday, the absence of guidelines aimed at citizenship, the minimum presence of the Government, gave an account of the political vacuum in which the Executive, and from which he sees no way out.
The President’s last message, on Saturday afternoon, in which he announced that he would lower the passenger hike came late. Since the early hours of the day, the demands had already surpassed the metro issue and extended to the full spectrum of inequalities that exist in Chile, so the afternoon message had no effect. The spirits at that hour foreshadowed that the night would be worse than Friday’s. And so it was.
The curd ingestry announced by General Javier Iturriaga, instead of applaying the outbreaks of violence, intensified it. The flames spread to regions. The social event defied the curfew and the cities of Santiago, Valparaiso, Rancagua, La Serena and Concepción became the Rome of Nero. In the early hours of the morning, the Intendencia confirmed that three people had been burnt to death in San Bernardo. And where was Chadwick?
The Missing
The late presence of the Member – on Saturday – where he called for clarity of which side he was on, and without having delivered clear signals of a possible resolution or proposal capable of aheriously a revolt that became uncontrollable for the Government , joined the absence of the figure of the Minister of the Interior, Andrés Chadwick, the head of public safety of the country.
Beyond the meetings held in Palacio, in which officials of officialism were considered, and also mayors of the Metropolitan Region, once the incidents have increased in hundreds of floodlights throughout the capital and in different regions, they had to spend about six hours listening to the Mandatario again, in the meantime, – and it was a criticism in Chile Vamos – the head of Interior shone by his absence. This turned to acids questions that pointed to greater uncertainty that, as a factor, added to the rise in social temperature, and which would also be ended by evidence of the inability to control and respond to the Government.
The last time the head of security was seen was on Friday, who at about 19 hours, and already with the demonstrations that threatened to overflow, he passed up the opportunity to have changed the fate that ended up transforming into the greatest defeat of this admi nisration. Having gone out to criminalize the events that were happening, with the announcement of the invocation of the State Security Act, and without any gesture towards the background of the problem that denounced the street, ended up being classified as the political milestone that marked the uncovering. He showed the total disconnection with what was going on in front of his eyes.
The minister’s absence, throughout Saturday, led even analysts from his own sector, not only to question it, but also to not. Through social media, Francisco Javier Covarrubias wondered about 23 hours Where is the Minister of the Interior?, a comment that was replicated by Patricio Navia with a “months that he is gone”.
With an opposition that has also been overcome and invisible, it was the voices of officialism itself that were the most categorical in pointing out that what little was left of the line of credit to Andrés Chadwick, was clearly “consumed due to the mishandling, again, of a crisis of large magnitude,” recalling the case of the murder of the comunero, Camilo Catrillanca.
