Gómez, who formally resigned from his post last Friday, expressed his support for the plebiscite that seeks to authorize this practice, describing it as a “useful tool.”
Orsi pointed out that, coming from a figure of Gómez’s stature, “one must pay attention” to his words. However, he emphasized that, although he shares the idea that night raids can be useful, he believes that there is “a gap” between recognizing their usefulness and choosing to modify the Constitution to implement them.
The candidate added that the debate on this issue is more about form than content. “There is a problem more about form than content and it is good that the former prosecutor brings up the guarantees that must exist. It is a police operation that for the vast majority of the population must be carried out with guarantees, and it is good, because he has the authority that the years have given him to say what he said,” he said, highlighting the importance of any police operation having adequate guarantees for the population. Orsi stressed that Gómez, with his vast experience, has the authority to give an opinion on the issue.
