doubts persist about the eradication of corruption within the Bolivian police in just 90 days after President Evo Morales to instruct the new Commanding General of the institution olive, realize this goal during this period.
analyst for Santa Cruz, Jimmy Ortiz, the malady that afflicts the institution of the order can not be deleted in 90 days, also in his opinion, the strength of the order did not change their attitude if they have decent wages to support their families.
"Corruption can not be deleted in 90 days, this is just a popular target, as a straitjacket that the police can not keep. What must have is a cultural change the first thing you should do is that the police have decent wages to stop corrupt, that allows its members to support their families. Until that happens, it will be impossible to have a police force as desired.
At the same time, he acknowledged that the police is a vital institution in the country for being the last barrier of society, but that his attitude should be as in other countries.
He cited the Carabineros de Chile, which in its opinion are a role model across the continent.
In his opinion, the Bolivian police should be professionalized and prioritized as the neighboring country, obtaining university status and well heads complying with his work.
also believes that the institution should be decentralized order, noting that all troops should be natives of the place to be part of the community, and because they understand the idiosyncrasies of the people.
"A policeman can not go east of the plateau, by nature, you know who is good or bad for the city, the issue of decentralization is important for regional police there," said the analyst.
added that the Bolivian police must maintain good relations with the international police, Interpol, have coordination in actions, and have a total independence from political power. " Police political control for more security, must be independent and professional constantly being refined," he said.
MAJOR CHANGE
Regarding the change of the new police commander, compared this with a cosmetic change and populist , where the government put the new police chief to meet an impossible goal and difficult to change . "The police must have a longer-term plan, we will have an honest police overnight. For years they have lack of technology and equipment, "he said.
According to Ortiz, the President is the wrong way, by designating a colonel who participated in the events of Caranavi where there was dead, so believes that the Government should seek advice from more advanced countries.
Ortiz said that drug trafficking is to complicate the work of the police, is a major economic power, which moves 72 billion dollars in the world, being the largest illegal business in the world. "The police are easy prey for drug trafficking is a losing battle, where it will be destroyed by the lack of conditions and resist that power, traffickers have much money, weapons, technology first, is a fight between David and Goliath, "said the expert.
Opinion Poll:
Juan Aliaga
"90 days is very short time, I do not think that the Police can eradicate corruption, must be the change of another police leadership because it is all wrong, until the appointment of new commander for the Government and with an impossible deadline to meet the target. There are many cases which are broadcast media, as senior officials of the police involved in drug trafficking cases. " Miguel Rojas
"You can not eradicate corruption in 90 days, the Government is pressing and it is further discrediting the police, they need more time to achieve that goal. There are several cases that I know so far, including that the DEA caught a Commissioner of Police for drug dealer and is in the U.S.. Unfortunately, left to absorb for the money, I think the new commander may change, if given more time. " Gary Arias Pizarro
"It's a ridiculous time the Government gave to the police, you have to make decisions in the short, medium and long term, the main thing is to root out evil, we must do is change the standard education and have new values, corruption is not only the Police but in terms of all entities public and private. Drug trafficking is an evil that is in all spheres of society, we propose measures consistent for our times. "
Juan Zenteno
"It's hard to change the attitude of the police, because this is bad for many years. We are the leaders in corruption, no other country is like ours, time in 90 days to eradicate this evil, is merely a smokescreen. I see no effective than the new police commander to fulfill this difficult job in such a short time, neither can believe in this government, said he would be changes but there is not, people are weak.
