The prosecution said that during the last period the former minister (Andrés Chadwick) had not done what was necessary to prevent human rights from being violated and there was a conviction that what was necessary was not done. (…) Behind this is a global questioning of the way the government confronted the social movement, how it analyzed it and the response it gave, but the one with the specific function of public order was the minister, and public order and HRD have to go hand in hand and that doesn’t oct He’s been there.” Thus this morning Senator PS Carlos Montes justified his vote in favor of the constitutional accusation against former Interior incumbent, Andrés Chadwick.
On the former minister’s defense, he said “the appeal to Chadwick’s bond and history didn’t work because something else was at stake. There were very serious human rights violations and they continue to occur, the personalized strategy did not work.”
“I think you can effectively start thinking about a risk of maximum polarization from this. What happened last night when some ministers came out very overheated and without having thought about posing rather more extreme scenarios. Calm is now required and we need to reflect, both government and opposition in how we deal with the country’s scenario which is very different from what has been known at another time,” he said on Radio Universo. “What marks this scenario is that society and young people question the society we have, organization, values, commodification, dehumanization and our responsibility is to build, respond to that and give rigorous and serious forward solutions”, Said. “You have to have a cold head.”
On the PC’s stance – which last night called for passing the constitutional accusation against Piñera – the senator said he would “call the PC to reflect and think about how we take this scenario with a democratic alternative to the future.”
Blumel time?
Asked about the situation of the current Interior Minister, Gonzalo Blumel, in a context where human rights are still being denounced, Montes responded: “One of the people who was wounded was totally peaceful in a totally peaceful sector , I had relatives of mine next to them and it is not understood how they are firing elements that cause that kind of damage. The government has to think very carefully about that situation, and I painted it right there during the day at different government officials who had to assume that. I will not speculate on how this will lead, but it is important for the government to put a shortcut to such instruments with which physical harm to many people is being done.”
Faced with the question of whether the arguments against Chadwick could be the same against Blumel and having to answer politically, Montes replied: “We’ll see what happens, we expect the government to think very well. I personally spoke to more than two or three ministers who had to put a shortcut, talk to Carabinieri, see what’s going on, and take effective action. There is a risk of what you point out, but let’s hope the government will reconsider and implement a solution.”
“Nice stay”
In the face of the statements of President Piñera in Cadena Ser of Spain where he said that he “did not see the conflict coming” and accused “a wave of systematic, professional and organized violence”, Montes said: “He says that he did not see what was happening, nor did he understand the meaning profound from the structural transformations that Michelle Bachelet posed, they laughed throughout the first period of this Government saying that this was something that did not respond to Chile, him and other people.”
“They devoted themselves to ridiculing tax reform, to extreme and interpret it in a totally anxious way, educational reform. Bachelet’s attempt at the constituent process they did not accept, there was a complete misunderstanding of the depths of society. He didn’t understand it,” he said.
“And with regard to this analysis that he makes that here there is an operation of an organization with such and what characteristics, he has never been able to prove that, he has not said anything serious about it, the constitutional indictment itself against Chadwick was the opportunity to having given serious elements and it didn’t happen. So everything indicates that there are other factors ingreat. I believe that they, and in particular the President, need to rethink their vision of reality and open themselves to a path of solutions.”
