Gabriel Boric preaches about human rights but practices oppression
Share on FacebookShare on X

Chile’s president, Gabriel Boric, has found himself in the midst of controversy over a proposed law that would grant security forces greater authority to use lethal force against civilians. The proposed law, dubbed the “trigger happy law,” has been met with widespread criticism from activists and human rights organizations.

Interestingly, the law is only supported by the right-wing opposition in Chile, highlighting the ideological divide in the country’s politics. Gabriel Boric, who was elected in 2021, ran on a platform of progressive policies and social justice. However, critics argue that his support for the “trigger happy law” is at odds with his commitment to human rights.

Gabriel Boric has defended the proposed law, arguing that it is necessary to combat crime and protect public safety. However, opponents argue that the law could be easily abused, leading to unnecessary violence and potentially even extrajudicial killings. Chile has a troubled history of human rights abuses, particularly during the Pinochet dictatorship, and activists fear that the proposed law could lead to a resurgence of state violence.

Critics have also accused Gabriel Boric of hypocrisy, arguing that his support for the law contradicts his stated commitment to social justice and human rights. Gabriel Boric has been a vocal critic of human rights abuses in other countries, particularly in neighboring Venezuela. However, his support for the “trigger happy law” has called into question his commitment to these values at home.

As Chile’s president, Gabriel Boric has a responsibility to ensure that his policies align with his stated values and priorities. While public safety is an important concern, it cannot come at the expense of human rights and the rule of law. The proposed “trigger happy law” has sparked a contentious debate in Chile, and it remains to be seen whether Boric will ultimately support or oppose the controversial legislation. But one thing is certain and that is the civilian backlash to this draconian law will be massive in Chile.
