President Gabriel Boric Announces Salary Increase for Carabineros

This Thursday, September 19, after the end of the ⁢ Military Parade 2024, President Gabriel Boric announced that at the end of this⁣ year he ‍will present⁢ a bill that will increase the salaries of Carabineros,⁣ a commitment he had made during the last Public⁢ Account.

Along these lines, the ⁣president said, “Today‌ we are strengthening Carabineros; we have​ significantly improved all the tools they have ⁢to exercise the ⁤rule of law.”

The ⁤Bill ‍to Raise the‌ Salaries of Carabineros

He added, “At the end of the year, we are⁣ going ⁤to present⁣ a bill that I have committed to the​ Public⁤ Account, which will involve a risk allocation, which practically means increasing the salary of the Carabineros by one salary per⁤ month, and ​so I trust ‌the ⁤police.”

Carabineros and the Recent Murders

President Gabriel Boric’s ‌announcement comes⁢ after the murder of a Franco ​policeman, who died this Wednesday in the community of Puente Alto. The above,‍ after being ​the victim of a robbery while driving a vehicle from a transport application.

A worrying situation, as⁤ this is the second death of a police officer who was doing work unrelated to his duties as a police officer. This, considering, at the end ‍of August, an officer‌ died ⁣after ‍being shot‌ when he worked as a private guard at the Caupolicán⁣ Theater.

Before‍ the announcement of the head of state, ​the ‌bench of UDI deputies accused Boric of not fulfilling his commitment to ​the salaries ‌of police officers.

“Unfortunately, it seems⁤ that we are once again ‌faced with an unfulfilled promise on the part⁣ of the current government. ‍What happened this morning, added ⁢to what happened at the Caupolicán Theater, highlights the need to​ improve the salaries of police officers, but not for ⁤another three ⁤years, but now,⁢ because it is essential if we want them to fight this serious⁣ crisis effectively,” said the senators of that bench.
