Chilean president threatens to veto military courts measure

"During my government, military courts will not be reestablished,” said President Gabriel Boric this Thursday, regarding the discussion in Congress regarding the draft Rules for the Use of Force for members of the Armed Forces and police in exceptional contexts. .

Although the opposition's indication proposing that military justice be the one to investigate RUF crimes was declared inadmissible in the Chamber of Deputies, voices have emerged that propose reinstating it in the discussion in the Senate.

In an interview with Cooperativa radio this Friday morning, when asked if La Moneda is willing to apply a veto if the opposition proposal advances, the Undersecretary of the Interior, Manuel Monsalve, did not rule it out.
