translated from Spanish: Eye trauma victims demand “political responsibilities” in case of Gustavo Gatica

The spokesman for the Coordinator of Ocular Trauma Victims Marta Valdés asked the Government and the general director of Carabineros, Mario Rozas, to take charge of the injuries that blind Gustavo Gatica in November of the 2019.Si he values that former Lieutenant Colonel Claudio Crespo be formalized on the eve for his alleged role in this case , the spokesperson said that “it is important to be clear that there are people of the High Command who also have responsibility for these excesses of Carabineros”, so indicated Radios Cooperativa. “I believe that here too the director general of Carabineros has to give answers to his action, how he gave the orders to proceed in peaceful demonstrations at this level of violence. I believe that there are also political responsibilities here, from the President, Minister of the Interior and Director General of Carabineros. We don’t have to forget it,” he insisted. He noted that there are more than 60 complaints inside the Coordinator that had been slowed because “the judicial excuse is that we are under pandemics”, although it would not be the only reason: “we regret that Carabineros contributes little for the investigation to move forward quickly. There is a slowness in that aspect and we are concerned.” This Government has not taken responsibility for the eye traumas, and this is demonstrated by the President of the Republic himself, who never mentions the victims, has never had any words addressed to the victims,” Valdés lamented. , both in health and economically, it has to take care of these victims for the life.”
