La TerceraIndependent🔒CenterFactual 85Objective 8026 days ago Includes the President: government enters the House reform for termination of office of authorities for drug useThe Chilean government has introduced a constitutional reform proposal aimed at removing public officials from office if they test positive for illicit drugs. The initiative, initially announced by President José Antonio Kast, would require periodic drug tests for officials upon assuming their roles and during their tenure, with results made public. The reform was prompted by the recent resignation of former Finance Subsecretary Juan Pablo Rodríguez after testing positive for drugs, though he later tested negative in private clinics. The proposed law would apply to a wide range of public figures including the president, ministers, regional governors, judges, military commanders, and police directors. While the government frames the reform as enhancing transparency and integrity in public service, critics argue it could lead to over-policing of officials.
