John Griffiths, former Chief of the Joint Staff: “The Rule of Law has not been secured in the Southern Macrozone”
In an interview with ‘Let Yourself Fall with Neme’, the former Chief of the Joint Staff and Head of Studies at Athena Labs, John Griffiths, addressed the incidents of violence occurring in the Southern Macrozone and the possibility of modernizing the intelligence law.
To begin the conversation, Griffiths explained that “an intelligence system is characterized by coordinating and integrating different types of intelligence,” thus clarifying that as a country “we are far from forming a robust system of this kind.”
In this regard, he pointed out that “to be able to say that we have an intelligence system, we must first have national-level agencies, where the only thing we currently have is the National Intelligence Agency, which is an analysis unit.”
Regarding the murder of police officers that occurred last Saturday in Cañete, he was emphatic and stated that “we are facing an organization that, if it is willing to kill, is committing an act of terrorism. We should analyze and refine the diagnosis of what is happening in the Southern Macrozone, because there are evidently groups that are in the realm of terrorism, and what happened on Saturday is an act intended to instill terror in the population.”
Following this, he emphasized that as a citizen “I miss the enforcement of the Rule of Law; we need the political will to pursue this type of conduct and apprehend these individuals, but we have not done so, and I believe that the Rule of Law has not been secured in the Southern Macrozone.”
