translated from Spanish: “The passivity that the Government has had in the face of the negligence of Rozas y Guevara has no limits”: Deputy Raúl Soto demands departure of general director of Carabineros and Intendent of Santiago

After the intense day on This Friday, where the admissibility of a complaint was known against the director general of Carabineros, Mario Rozas, for the crime of permissiveness in the face of torture, as well as new demonstrations is that they ended with the Centro Arte Alameda on fire and a deceased person in Santiago, the independent pro PPD deputy, Raúl Soto, demanded the immediate departure of Rozas and the mayor of Santiago for his “institutional responsibility for these events”.
“Yesterday a complaint against Rozas was declared admissible for a crime of permissiveness in the face of torture, during the early morning of this Saturday a man of 40 years after the demonstrations died, the Center of Arte Alameda is burned and the authorities do nothing. They act with a passivity that has no limits to the negligence of their authorities with the lives of the protesters.”
Soto again called on the Government to remove Rozas from office “to deliver a signal, at least of respect for the victims of dD violations. HH and be able to rebuild deeply, an institution that has been totally damaged. We cannot expect the judgment of the claim or its criminal responsibility for the Government to act. It is now that their institutional responsibility and immediate resignation must be established.”
He added that the mayor of Santiago, Felipe Guevara, must also be removed from office, in addition to being held accounted for by the strategy of copacation in Plaza Italia that “has already favored on more than one occasion the climate of confrontation, violence and repression. Last week two gas cars ran over a 24-year-old, this time we mourn the death of another person, what else must happen for the mayor to understand that the sheriff’s attitude is not how a political authority should act.”
The deputy for the o’Higgins region, stated that once again he will insist “relentlessly and gently” on the departure of the general director and the mayor of Santiago since “these are not particular cases, they have been the tonic in the case of Rozas, since the beginning of the outbreak so Guevara’ case, since he took over after the departure of the now Minister Karla Rubilar and we will not allow further violence and neglect in the actions of the state authorities.”
