La arremetida de Matthei contra el gobierno: “Tohá quedó fuera del juego con esto del ‘gatillo fácil’” - La Tercera

The recent statements made by former Minister Evelyn Matthei are making waves in Chile’s political scene. In her interview with La Tercera, Matthei criticized the government’s stance on the use of force by the police, particularly in light of recent protests. She accused Interior Minister Rodrigo Delgado of not backing up the Carabineros adequately, which, in her opinion, has led to a lack of control in the streets. In addition, Matthei also took issue with the recent controversy surrounding Mayor Tohá and her comments about the “trigger happy” police. Matthei believes that these words have put Toha “out of the game.” This is a somewhat surprising stance, coming from Matthei, who is known to be a staunch supporter of the right. However, her criticism of the government is not entirely out of character; while she served as Minister of Labor and Social Security under Piñera’s administration, she openly criticized some of the policies introduced by the government. The fact that Matthei is now turning her attention towards the government shows that there is growing dissatisfaction with Piñera’s handling of various issues. Matthei’s views reflect those of many Chileans who feel that their voices are not being heard. With parliamentary elections coming up in November, it is becoming increasingly clear that a change is needed. Matthei’s bold comments have certainly added fuel to the fire, and it remains to be seen how the government will respond.
