Opposition criticizes Boric after ruling out lawsuit against Llaitul and Democratic Socialism estimates that it should have been considered

"Our government does not pursue ideas or statements," were the words that President Gabriel Boric pronounced this Thursday, defending the decision of the Ministry of the Interior not to file a complaint against the leader of the Arauco Malleco Coordinator (CAM), Héctor Llaitul , after his call to organize the armed resistance. His words bothered the opposition, a sector that has otherwise insisted that La Moneda take action. This after yesterday the Undersecretary of the Interior, Manuel Monsalve, who dismissed the complaint against Llaitul, but rather incorporated the background to complaints already made.

"President, the call to armed resistance by the leader of the CAM is a crime that is criminalized and that must be prosecuted. It is not an idea or a simple statement. Use the same law that you used to persecute the truckers, use it with criminals and terrorists, it is the least we ask of you," said the head of the RN deputies caucus, Andrés Longton. Along the same lines, the head of the UDI bench of deputies, Jorge Alessandri, pointed out that "with the respect that the head of state deserves, in our country threats are a crime, when they are against the state they are typified in the law of internal security of the State and it is not your decision to pursue them or not, it is your duty as Head of Government and State, as President of the Republic to defend not your position, not your coalition, the State of Chile against those people who call to attack them with weapons and to confront public order and the rule of law".

 

 

 

"This is not a decision, this is not an opinion, this is the law that governs our country, the crime of threats against the State and with firearms is criminalized. Please, President, the installation is over, let's start once and for all to govern," said Alessandri. With this, the deputy Jorge Rathgeb, presented bluntly: "What are they going to do then, if they are the ones who are governing or if they want the deaths and destruction to continue and production to be paralyzed in the southern macrozone? Government, President Boric act Now, people want peace of mind, we cannot be exposed to acts of violence continuing to be generated in La Araucanía." From the ruling party, meanwhile, there were various reactions. In Democratic Socialism, the deputy leader of the PS deputies, Tomás De Rementería, understood the government's decision, indicating that it does have the power to file a complaint, but "it is different if a judge accepts that complaint." In any case, he assured that "there is a precedent, there is a context, and in this case I believe that the government should not have dismissed the complaint so flatly." From the PPD, deputy Jaime Araya completely disagreed with the President's words. He mentioned that "language creates reality" and that "one should be more rigorous in this and understand that there are ideas that cannot be allowed to germinate in society and there are languages that cannot be allowed." Likewise, the conventional Felipe Harboe expressed himself through his social networks. "I recommend @min_interior to read law 12,927, on state security. From article 4 letter a) onwards, Llaitul's statements can be prosecuted. Without a complaint, the Public Ministry does not have much to do. If the government does not do it, it validates threats to peace and democracy".
