translated from Spanish: Government called to vote in favor of the Anti-Sakirs Act after meeting for attacks on Carabineros police stations

During Wednesday’ day, communal and government officials met at La Moneda to discuss the latest attacks on police stations in the Metropolitan Region. In this sense, it was the Minister of the Interior, Gonzalo Blumel, who after the end of the meeting referred to the issues discussed. “We are going to set up a multisectoral table led by Mayor Guevara in conjunction with mayors, Carabineros, the Undersecretariat for Crime Prevention, and we’re going to invite the Sename,” he said. The latter, he said, because among the “people who have been detained there are many children who are participating in this,” he replied. On solutions, he warned of the need for “more tools to strengthen public order.” Therefore, in the same instance he made a call to pass the so-called Anti-Saqueos Act. “In that law we will be able to impose greater sanctions. (…) We need the anti-sabutous law,” he said, adding that progress in the statute of protection of police officers is also essential.” There’s not going to be impunity. All those people who attack police units (…) are going to complain,” he concluded.
