"Justice will be served. There are many people who still do not have a trial in progress," said Senator Giorgio Jackson, the head of Boric's political campaign, Giorgio Jackson.

He explained thus the statements of the President-elect, who in his Sunday victory speech said he had talked to relatives of the victims and was "very clear about what we should do."

Jackson commented that they are analyzing "how a country is healed," referring to those people who suffered irreparable physical damages during the protests and to other citizens "unjustly deprived of their freedom."

The withdrawal of accusations based on the State Security Law "changes the conditions under which the Judicial Branch processes a case. That is something significant and not just any detail," Jackson commented, indicating that Boric could propose an amnesty law if necessary.

The amnesty proposal could be subject to modifications "but it must be incorporated into the debate without opening wounds. Economic compensation is necessary for the people who suffered the damage. We hope to unite Chile while recognizing all the faces of a historical episode," Jackson added.

"The truth is we have to make a government with enough breadth so that changes can be made," the leftist Senator said and anticipated that they would seek political support in "the organizations that not supported us in the first round."
