On the other hand, in the midst of the discussion about the possible departure of soldiers to the streets, the general (r) was emphatic in pointing out that it must be defined exactly what is meant by critical infrastructure and what the rules for the use of force are. .

The days pass and discussions continue on the bill on critical infrastructure and the definition of the rules for the use of force. This is in the midst of the discussion over the departure of the Armed Forces (FF. AA.) to the streets to control the so-called security crisis.

Given this scenario, in Could It Be Worse we spoke with General (r) Ricardo Martínez, who left and commented that the Carabinero and the Investigative Police are the institutions that must “face the scourge of crime.”

In that sense, he argued that “the call they can make to the Armed Forces is totally exceptional.”

“When it comes to critical infrastructure, we should explain exactly what we mean by this, because the concept is very broad, it should be studied, but no one denies it, at the level of the FF. AA., of having to take on a task of that nature.”

Along the same lines, he explained that “when the police are overwhelmed, obviously the State has to make use of all its resources, and one of them is the Armed Forces.”

FF. AA. and rules of use of force

On the other hand, General (r) Martínez referred to the need for the rules of the use of force to be clear.

“The FF. AA. They have no preparation to work in public order, they are prepared, trained for other types of tasks,” she said.

Likewise, he maintained that these rules, “in order to have an effect on the soldiers who are deployed in the streets, they have to have a legal rank (…) If (a soldier) uses his weapon, obviously these things are going to be investigated, but if he has followed the entire procedure it should not have any legal consequences.”

“Not only the soldiers, the civilian population has to know that when soldiers leave they have to have this rank, and if they fail to comply they will have consequences,” he added.

Furthermore, he continued pointing out that “when this matter is left in a nebula it has traits of cowardice, because at the end of the day I am giving that soldier the decision to act in a certain way, or another, and to take responsibility for the consequences.” .
