La TerceraIndependent🔒CenterFactual 88Objective 7524 days agoChile’s government is considering implementing a new constitutional state of exception aimed at addressing high-crime areas. The proposal would allow Carabineros (national police) to take control of specific neighborhoods under certain conditions, with support from the military. This initiative comes after President José Antonio Kast announced national security measures. According to Interior Minister Claudio Alvarado, the state of exception would involve temporary restrictions on freedom and would be based on predefined indicators of crime severity. Security Minister Martín Arrau confirmed discussions around modifying existing legal frameworks to provide greater legal protection for police and military personnel involved in such operations.

Four individuals arrived by car and threatened the police officer with firearms. The officer identified himself and used his service weapon to repel the attack, leading to a chase that ended in the commune of Lo Espejo, where all four suspects were captured.
