Carabineros Deputy Director-in-Retreat, Julio Pineda, felt that there was no need to restructure the institution, heavily criticized during the social outburst for human rights violations confirmed by reports from various international organizations, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch (HRW).
In conversation with Radio Bío Bío, Pineda stated that the Chilean police do not act differently from other people in the world in terms of public order, although he did recognize that some protocols, procedures and technologies should be updated.
“The control of public order that Carabineros handles in the different public demonstrations that exist violent or peaceful, are no different from what the rest of the police in the world do,” he said.
The former carabinero also noted that “Carabineros must be given a space so that there can be proper investigations when talking about human rights violations.”
On the use of riot shotguns, Pineda considered that “Carabineros has the preparation. This type of weapon is a non-lethal, it is one that throws rubber balines that of course are composed of different materials (…) but it costs a lot to give them direction. Carabineros acts with these shotguns in the face of violent demonstrations.”
Pineda also endorsed the statements of the president and deputy of National Renewal (RN), Mario Desbordes, who noted that there is no need to reformulate Carabineros for the time being.
” (Carabineros) is a policewoman who excels worldwide (…) We cannot immediately say that there is a violation of human rights only because an injured person appears. Let’s investigate why it was, what the context was, what the aggravating and mitigating ones are,” Pineda concluded.
