Jorge Luchsinger, son of Werner Luchsinger and Vivianne Mackay, a marriage who died in a house in his home caused by the machi Celestino Córdova, referred to the Supreme Court ruling that rejected the protection presented by the Mapuche commune, preventing him from passing his conviction on his rewe.
“For us I wouldn’t have to make it to the Supreme, but it has special privileges and conditions in which this reaches this level and we are happy with yesterday,” but it’s nothing more. He’s an inmate who must continue to serve his sentence,” he said in an interview with Radio Universe.
“The truth that yesterday I was circling the story and we are not politicians, we have been involved in this,” added Luchsinger, who insisted that Córdova should not have “special benefits.”
“Because of the political support of certain sectors or certain groups here, he has been pressured and he has lobbied with hunger strike, not the first, to have special benefits. What we have said is that this person must have the same privileges as any inmate in Chile,” he argued.
“The sentence given to him is to be held in prison and all these pressures the Government will see the upheaval it generates, and that no one wants this person to die. They have to worry about humanitarian or political reasons that this person goes down on hunger strike,” Luchsinger said.
“We should get used to it being a legal or technical issue, not so visceral or depending on the pressures exerted by one or the other groups. For me if it is a benefit stipulated in law and that can be requested by any other inmate, one has to accept it, just as I have accepted worse things,” he said.
