CHILE’S President Sebastian Pinera has announced a Bill to give the military greater authority to intervene in political and civil matters, in response to giant protests.
Mr Pinera has claimed to have listened and learned from anti-neoliberal protests that drew over a million people onto the streets of Santiago and promised to investigate police attacks on demonstrators that killed at least 23 and injured thousands.
But he now wants to change the law so the army can be deployed to “control infrastructure, including essential public services and police activities” without the need to declare a state of emergency.
