Chile's legals in higher courts and their political handlers

[ugluuak]

The rule of law is no longer de vigeur and untrusted by its citizens.
Doom is sure to follow !

To make matters worse, it is already known that the Director General of the Carabineros will soon be formally charged for his command responsibility in the grave human rights violations committed by his officers and subordinates in the social uprising of 2019. An officer who refuses to leave his post until he is tried next May, despite the demand for his resignation and the wishes of Boric’s government. A rebellious general who enjoys the explicit support of the right-wing opposition and who has fostered a serious climate of tense political relations. This could well escalate into the kind of insurrection that preceded the 1973 military coup.

In a country with an economy that is not picking up, despite the finance minister’s euphoria over last year’s slight 0.2 percent GDP growth, the truth is that it is the increase in crime and corruption that is having the greatest impact on popular disillusionment, political disenfranchisement, and democratic disaffection. This does not bode well for the formalization of the heads of our two police forces and the exposure of thugs like Hermosilla, who act with total impunity and brazenness, undermining the prestige of public institutions and their top officials amidst the confusion and indifference of the political class.
