UDI deputies ask Kast to deploy the FF.AA. on the southern border to new drug trafficking routes

Members of Chile’s Unión Demócrata Independiente (UDI) parliamentary bloc, Mario Olavarría and Omar Sabat, urged President José Antonio Kast to consider deploying the military along Chile’s southern border amid concerns over new drug trafficking routes. The request comes after Regional Prosecutor Cristián Crisosto warned that organized crime groups operating in the Magallanes region are linked to networks across South America, particularly Argentina. The legislators emphasized that while much attention has been focused on northern borders due to migration crises, southern regions like Magallanes require similar security measures. They suggested adapting the military collaboration model used in the north since 2023 to address vulnerabilities in the south.
