translated from Spanish: Hard cross between Undersecretary Martorell and Mayor Cathy Barriga after shooting in Maipú

The shooting in The Plaza de Maipú, in the midst of Christmas shopping, also opened a front of conflict between the municipality and the government.
Mayor Cathy Barriga (independent Chile Vamos) complained about the lack of answers from the Executive regarding security for the commune. But his statements were replicated by undersecretary of crime prevention, Katherine Martorell, who assured that since this distribution more than 800 million pesos have been handed over to the municipality in projects, but “the last times I have called the mayor (Barriga) I have had no answer.”

In the opinion of the community chief, what the government offered is not enough, because “we need an action plan, we don’t need reactive visits,” she said, alluding to the undersecretary’s press point at El Carmen Hospital, to where she moved to visit the four wounded who left the fact of blood in the commune.
This is not the first time Mayor Barriga has faced the government. He already did so for the management of the pandemic, when the Minsal was in the hands of Minister Jaime Mañalich, and then publicly confronted The Mayor Felipe Guevara for the delivery of goods boxes for the population most affected by the extent of quarantine.
