He Florida Mayor Rodolfo Carter, met with the interior minister, Víctor Pérez, after the armed attack that left two PDI officials injured in a procedure in the Los Quillayes population.
In his departure from La Moneda, the communal chief assured that the minister will visit the commune this week, to get to know on the ground the feeling of insecurity in which the neighbors live.
“What happened yesterday in Florida is the end of the rule of law in Santiago,” he said.
“The Government and the State of Chile, and all the governments, have failed in a fundamental duty that is directly related to the right of citizens to live in peace“He added.
Regarding the things he asked Pérez, he explained that he asked for authorization to close the passages. “We have not been able to guarantee that neighbors living in vulnerable neighborhoods can close their passages and have security because the law is badly made ”.
In addition, he called for urgent preventive police measures and criticized that policemen escort high-risk funerals.
“How is it possible that in a narco funeral, the police are dedicated to escorting drug traffickers and are not able to take a patent photograph of high-end vehicles and do not ask them where they got the money to buy it.”
In short, it required concrete ideas to “Stop the drug trafficking business.”
The attack on the PDI
The situation occurred last night in General Arriagada with Santa Raquel, when the police were conducting proceedings for a blow that occurred yesterday afternoon in the commune.
As the three officials searched for a stolen high-end car, they encountered individuals who, seeing the police presence, fired automatic weapons.
Dozens of shots were fired at the vehicle where the IDPs were traveling, injuring a police assistant and a deputy inspector. The third officer was shot in the chest, but his bulletproof vest saved him.
The wounded were transferred to the Carabineros Hospital, where they recovered outside of life-threatening conditions.
Inspector Prefect Iván Villanueva, chief of the Metropolitan police region, indicated that the attack took place from three different points and that in total more than 100 shots were fired.
