The former deputy He remarked that he was “absolutely anti-racist; all shouts that have a racist connotation, wherever they come from, are rejected”.
Pérez insisted that it is “evident, clear and undeniable that here in Chile there are no political prisoners. All the people who are detained are detained by resolutions of the Courts of Justice. It cannot be a provocation, I think there is a desire here to justify and validate violence. “
The Government has already filed complaints against the Mapuche community members who had taken the municipal precincts, but there are still no known actions against the people who came with sticks to demonstrate outside these taken offices; only an ex officio investigation by the Regional Prosecutor’s Office has been opened against these people.
