From August 30th to September 30th

This year, the “Campaign against racism from 30 to 30” returns for its seventh edition in Santiago. This annual initiative seeks to raise awareness, make visible and promote collective reflection on xenophobia and discrimination against racialized people in the country.

With the aim of declaring September 30 as the “Popular Day of Struggle against Racism in Chile”, various cultural activities, video screenings, discussions and the emblematic September 30 Pilgrimage will be held for a month in memory of Joanne Florvil, who died in Chile due to racism.

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

A dream that has lasted for years and could begin to materialize, thanks to the joint work between the residents of the western sector, the Municipality of Rancagua, the Regional Government, Carabineros and the Seremi of National Assets. These entities have carried out an exhaustive search for land that meets the requirements of location, adequate urbanization and minimum surface area required by Carabineros for the expected construction of the 9th Police Station in the western sector of the city.

Seven possible locations were identified in the sector, and among these, the one located at 478 Enrique Dintrans Street, in the Irene Frei neighborhood, was considered for review and evaluation. In a meeting held last week at the Regional Government, with the participation of the Architecture Directorate of the MOP, the Seremi of National Assets, the Secretariat of Communal Planning (SECPLAC) of the Municipality of Rancagua and Carabineros de Chile, it was concluded that the site on Enrique Dintrans Street is the best option due to its location and compliance with the requirements established by Carabineros.

Faced with this news, the mayor of Rancagua, Emerson Avendaño, highlighted that it is “a building that has provided various services to the community and now returns to our police forces to become the 9th Carabineros Police Station. The western sector is a sector that has grown, that yearns for greater security and will have its Police Station. The sector already has a Fire Company, soon a CESFAM, and all this thanks to the investment in conjunction with the Regional Government, all with the aim of providing greater well-being to our community.”

The Regional Governor, Pablo Silva Amaya, said that this is “a dream of many years that we have been following, looking for land. I thank the Carabineros, the National Property, the municipality of Rancagua and, above all, the neighbors for continuing to work and fight for the Police Station in the western sector.”

The Head of the Sixth Zone of Carabineros, General Max Jiménez, indicated that this is the result of “very important work, carried out together with the residents of the western sector, the Regional Government and the Municipality of Rancagua, where a feasible plot of land has been located to build the future 9th Rancagua Poniente Police Station.”

Graciela Marceli, president of the Jardín Los Prados de Santa Julia JJVV, said that “this was a dream of the leaders. For a year our leaders wanted a Police Station in the western sector. It was up to me to fight, and here we are; we won, we got it, thanks to our authorities, the mayor and the governor. I am happy because dreams come true with work.”

Currently, this land belongs to the Chilean Treasury (Seremi de Bienes Nacionales) and has been given on loan to the municipality. This contract will expire at the end of this year, and the municipal institution has promised not to request its renewal, so that, finally, the residents of the western sector see their dream of greater security for their neighborhoods, towns and villages fulfilled.

“We cannot be fooled”: Carter responds to Tohá and calls on her to make transparent figures on police deployment in Florida

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 2, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

After an exchange of statements between the Minister of the Interior, Carolina Tohá, and The mayor of La Florida, Rodolfo Carter, this afternoon the communal leader again lashed out against the Secretary of State due to the announced resources for security and the transparency regarding the number of police officers deployed in the commune.

Carter, in the anteroom, pointed out that “We have serious doubts that this plan is currently politically oriented to defending communities that this government is interested in promoting in the upcoming municipal elections.”

In this context, during the morning, the chief of staff responded to questions raised by Carter regarding the deployment announced within the framework of the second stage of the Street Without Violence plan and which included modifications in police operations with the so-called “swarm” deployments.

“We had a meeting with all the mayors of the Metropolitan Region, where the Carabineros authorities presented the plan. The plan is to distribute these additional teams in 192 grids located in the 52 municipalities of the Metropolitan Region, without exception.“He said, dismissing Carter’s suggestion, during an activity in La Granja.

“So I would like to know on what basis the mayor makes this statement. What is the background behind his statement?” he asked.

Now, the municipal leader insisted again that Minister Carolina Tohá must make transparent the figures of the police that the municipalities will have in the Metropolitan Region under the framework of the new stage of the Streets without Violence plan, such as Florida or Puente Alto.

In this regard, Carter said that in the new stage of the Executive’s plan to reduce violent episodes in public places, Only one night operation has been carried out in his commune, which included the deployment of 20 uniformed officers.

“We must ask the Minister of the Interior not to be so clumsy. Minister Tohá has been acting with an incredible level of clumsiness. She is the one who handles the figures, the one who has the data… She is the one who knows and the government knows perfectly well how many police officers, where and how many times they have been used, and these are data that they do not share. We mayors do not have any concrete numbers,” Carter said.

“What we do know is that La Florida two weeks ago, in the last major metropolitan operation There were 20 carabineros for all of Florida. All of Chile could see how hundreds of carabineros were deployed in Santiago. The Minister of the Interior cannot take us for fools. I know that she thinks that Chileans are stupid, but she is the one who has the data… Minister, don’t be stupid, you have them.”criticized the mayor of La Florida, in response to the request to make transparent the data that supported his criticism regarding the police deployment.

In this regard, Carter called on Minister Tohá to act truthfully with respect to the data: “Minister, make the data transparent, but without lying, without upsetting us, Because it is evident that there is a different treatment for central Santiago and for the government communes than for the communes that are not governed. How many police officers have been used in Santiago? How many in La Florida and how many in Puente Alto? I know that they are campaigning, it is hard for them to admit it.
