So, I came across this crazy article about Piñera spending over 10 hours in an investigation for crimes against humanity. Yeah, you read that right. The process is still continuing even today! In summary, Piñera is being investigated for his role in the human rights violations that took place during the protests in Chile in 2019. Apparently, he ordered a state of emergency and put the military on the streets to control the demonstrations, which resulted in countless incidents of abuse and torture. It’s pretty wild to think about how someone in such a high position of power could be involved in such awful things.
But honestly, I’m not surprised. I grew up in a country with a lot of political turmoil, and it always seemed like the rich and powerful could get away with anything. It’s frustrating and disheartening to see it happening again in Chile. The fact that Piñera is being investigated gives me a glimmer of hope that there will be consequences for these atrocities. It’s important that we hold our leaders accountable for their actions, especially when they involve innocent people being hurt or killed.
Overall, this article highlights an important issue that affects not just Chile, but all of us. It’s a reminder that even those in the highest positions of power are not exempt from the consequences of their actions, and that justice must be served for the sake of humanity.
