And he added: «We have a problem that is not police, which is not inefficiency of the armed forces (…) is a matter of political will, nothing further". Regarding the treatment that the Government of Sebastián Piñera has given, to the problems in Araucanía, proposing anti-terrorist law projects, González has stated the opposite on his Twitter account: > Nowhere in the civilized world are laws or projects required. > these, to establish or reestablish the rule of law “within the > national territory”.
