The Secretary of State stated in a press conference that “over the course of all these days, it must be said, there has been a fairly significant number, in total, of people who have died in homicides.”
Carolina Tohá, Minister of the Interior, reported that during the National Holidays 25 homicides have been recorded, indicating that it corresponds to figures seen on normal days.
The Secretary of State stated in press conference that “over the course of all these days, it must be said, there has been a fairly significant number, when added together for all the days, of people who have died in homicides.”
Carolina Tohá said that “when we give these figures, they are depersonalized, they are numbers of people who died in homicides. The important thing is to think that each of these people has a family and it is a tragic situation, and it weighs, and it is worth it, and it worries us. For Chile, each homicide is a situation that requires attention and priority.”
“But if we look at the numbers, the number of homicide victims in these days has been more or less similar to what there is on normal days,” added the Interior Minister.
Tohá stressed that “there are a total of 25 people who have died in homicides since Monday, more or less within the numbers we usually have.”
“The important thing is to think that all these victims are also the result of a crime that we as a society must try to prevent together, through police work, prevention, social control, self-care, because we would like to one day bring that figure to zero,” he said.
