Hey, have you heard about the case of Senator Campillai getting compensated by the government? It caught my attention because it’s an example of how justice can sometimes be served even against powerful entities.
Basically, a while back, the senator was hit by a police tear gas bomb that led to her losing her sight. She and her family filed a lawsuit against Fisco, the state’s financial entity, for moral damage caused by the incident and won. They will receive $630 million as compensation.
This is a rare case of accountability for state violence which often goes unpunished. It’s good to see that there are still mechanisms in place to hold public officials responsible for their actions.
On a personal note, I remember the protests in Chile that led to this incident, and how it affected the collective consciousness of the country. It’s a reminder of the power of protests and public pressure to push for change in society.
All in all, this case highlights the importance of being vigilant against any form of violence and injustice, especially when perpetrated by the state. It’s a step towards a more just and accountable society for everyone.
