When detailing what is happening in the area, the undersecretary indicated in Emol that “in the case of La Araucanía it occurs in the context of the conflict that occurs in the southern macrozone, there are acts of violence that have determined that the Government takes a fairly severe decision that is to decree a state of exception. One of the effects of the State of Emergency has to do with the decrease in acts of violence with firearms and precisely in this type of violence is that the State of Emergency has a more marked effect, about 50% decrease”.
“Therefore, we reject violence, we do not accept it, we persecute it and we complain about acts of violence of this gravity and we hope that the persecution to identify, arrest and prosecute those behind criminal organizations that commit such serious crimes will be successful,” he added.
He also said that they are working with the Public Ministry to find the whereabouts of those responsible for the attack on the police officers.
Criminal organizations
At the press point, the authority was also consulted about criminal organizations and their possible entry into our country from abroad. “I would invite the whole country not to create myths behind criminal organizations, first because as you can see, organizations that are considered extraordinarily complex, dangerous and very well organized in the case of Chile, their leaders are in jail, that is the concrete thing,” Monsalve replied.
In this line, he referred to what was done with Los Gallegos. “In the case of Los Gallegos in Arica there are 29 organizations in prison and in the case of the Aragua Train and its main leader known as the Star, they are also in prison, I ask not to build myths, because finally those who carry out the investigation regarding criminal organizations is done, through the Public Ministry and the police.”

“Who can finally say if a criminal organization is indeed linked to another such as the Aragua Train or the Gulf Cartel, who have the evidence to determine if that link exists,” he added.
Finally, Monsalve pointed out that “all the rest of the statements we make about a criminal organization or the objective that we add to it is an assumption that only helps to build myths, therefore, here what matters is the evidence and the evidence is built by the Public Ministry and the police.”
