Following the multiple death threats against Mayor Rodolfo Carter, mayors gave him their support and called on the State to grant greater security to community leaders.

This Monday, the national prosecutor Ángel Valencia will receive the mayor of the Florida commune, Rodolfo Carter, after a formal request for a hearing by the community chief. This, after the indictment opened by the Eastern Metropolitan Regional Prosecutor’s Office against those responsible for delivering unofficial information to Mayor Carter for the “narco houses” and the multiple death threats against him.

In this context, the prosecutor Valencia signed an official letter that creates a unit to investigate threats against authorities, and this group will be in charge of receiving the complaints that are entered to carry out the corresponding investigations.

Given this, the mayor of Paine, Rodrigo Contrerasmade a call to make an agreement to protect the security of the community and its communal leaders.

“There must be a transversal agreement not only for the protection of the mayors, but once and for all for the protection of the community and citizens in our society and in our communes,” said the mayor.

Likewise, the mayoress of Peñalolén, Carolina Leitaoexpressed solidarity with Mayor Carter for the death threats against him and asked the State to guarantee their security.

“We are very exposed in this work and our integrity must be protected, the rule of law must prevail. Drug trafficking must be dealt with efficiently and effectively,” he added.

However, the mayor of Maipú, Thomas Vodanovicbelieves that municipalities only have a crime prevention role.

“You have to be careful. Municipalities cannot solve each and every security problem. We cannot be police and prosecutors. The institutions fulfill different roles, and the important thing is to distribute the resources more fairly for all the communes ”, he defended.

In total there are 20 homes that must be destroyed due to irregular extensions and links to the sale of drugs.

In conclusion, the recent death threats against Mayor Rodolfo Carter have sparked a conversation among Chilean mayors about the need for greater security for community leaders. Mayor Rodrigo Contreras calls for a transversal agreement to protect not only the mayors but the entire community. However, Mayor Thomas Vodanovic believes that municipalities only play a crime prevention role and that the institutions must distribute resources fairly for all communes. The national prosecutor Ángel Valencia created a unit to investigate threats against authorities, specifically those mentioned in the “narco houses” scandal. As this situation continues to unfold, mayors must work together to ensure the safety and security of their communities.
