The Minister of Justice and Human Rights in Chile, Hernán Larraín, ordered an investigation into the recent murders of two young women in the city of Quilpué. In a visit to the region, Minister Larraín met with the families of the victims and called for justice to be served. Meanwhile, the Minister of Women and Gender Equality, Mónica Zalaquett, expressed her concern over the high number of femicides in the country and called for harsher punishments for those who commit violent crimes against women. However, the Minister of the Interior, Víctor Pérez, recently stated that there is a lack of evidence in these cases, which further emphasizes the importance of a thorough investigation. In his statement, Minister Pérez expressed his sympathy to the families affected by these tragic events, while reminding the public that justice must be carried out with due process. The public and media have been eagerly awaiting updates on these investigations, which will have significant implications for the safety and wellbeing of women in the country. As journalists, it is our responsibility to continue to report on these important issues and to keep our audience informed of developments as they unfold.
