In the Senate room realized, on Tuesday, the dispatch made by the Chamber of Deputies and Deputies of the project Use of Force Rules.
The project will now be seen in the -united- defense and public security commissions of the Upper House, without the indication of military justicewhich by one vote was declared inadmissible in the previous stage.
However, it is already known that the opposition plans to restore the power of the military courts for cases involving uniformed personnel, and in the Senate 26 votes are required for admissibility: and Chile Vamos and related parliamentarians have 25.
In this scenario, the senator and president of Democrats, Ximena Rincónmay have the decisive vote, and is open to approving the controversial issue due to the security crisis that the country is going through.
«I have always maintained that there must be a single justice for civilians and military, and that, therefore, military justice acts only on its own issues, such as military crimes themselves. Notwithstanding that, Given the situation that the country is experiencing today of insecurity – as long as it is not overcome – it is advisable to give the greatest possible guarantees to those who act in the field of public security, and especially when they do so under states of constitutional exception.«, he claimed.
«In that scenario, if this is not addressed, for example, in the special law modifying military justice, obviously it has to be addressed in the Rules for the Use of Force,» said the former militant DC.
GOVERNMENT: «IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL»
From the Government, the Minister of the Interior, Carolina Tohá (PPD)stated that «this approach within the draft law on Rules for the Use of Force It has no basis, because it is outside the matrix ideas, it is a different matter.».
«If someone wants to discuss that, it would have to be in a different project, but (here) the Chamber of Deputies has already spoken, and it is not an issue that one trusts that the votes are not there: it is that When something is unconstitutional, we should all respect the Constitution, until one changes it… One assumes that if there was the criterion of enforcing the Constitution in the House, that same criterion will be in the Senate,» Tohá indicated.
Also on Tuesday, finally, the House Defense Commission Low reviewed the project that strengthens and modernizes the State intelligence system.
The previous session had to be suspended because neither Minister Tohá nor Undersecretary Monsalve arrived. This time the two authorities did participate and the head of the Interior assured that it is one of the most anticipated projects in the security agendaalthough they have not yet started with the vote.
