State and control of the territory

A letter to the editor published in La Tercera on August 12, 2026, discusses concerns over areas in Chile where organized crime has undermined state authority, limiting personal freedom and security. The author argues that current legal frameworks are insufficient to address these threats and calls for constitutional reforms to enable the state to restore law and order nationwide. They emphasize that the government has a duty to protect citizens and that legislative action is necessary rather than merely acknowledging the problem. The piece highlights the need for stronger tools to combat criminal structures and stresses that recovering territorial control is a civic right, not just an ideological stance.
