Daniel Manouchehri, miembro de la comisión de Deportes: “El plan Estadio Seguro fracasó”

As the debate over the effectiveness of Chile’s “estadio seguro” (safe stadium) plan wages on, one member of the Commission of Sports has made a bold statement: the plan has failed. Daniel Manouchehri recently spoke out against the initiative, which was implemented following a tragic 2013 stadium riot that claimed the lives of three people. Despite the widespread belief that the plan has contributed to a decrease in violence, Manouchehri claims that the opposite is true. He argues that the policy has led to an increase in police presence and violence outside of the stadium, and that it has failed to address the root causes of fan violence, such as poor infrastructure and lack of education. The plan has also been criticized for limiting fans’ ability to express themselves and creating an atmosphere of fear. While the debate over the effectiveness of estadio seguro will likely continue, Manouchehri’s statement highlights the need for continued evaluation and open dialogue on this complex issue. Ultimately, the goal should be to ensure that fans can enjoy the excitement of live sporting events without fear of violence or repression.
