Undersecretary Guerrero on the role of the FF.AA. in the new state of emergency: They would support the control of organized crime

Gonzalo Guerrero, subsecretario de Prevención del Delito de Chile, explicó las propuestas del gobierno sobre un nuevo estado de excepción constitucional. Según Guerrero, este estado de excepción tendría como objetivo central el fortalecimiento del control policial, con el apoyo de las Fuerzas Armadas en tareas relacionadas con el crimen organizado, el narcotráfico y el control del orden público. Destacó que el mando operativo sería responsabilidad de las policías, mientras que las Fuerzas Armadas actuarían en apoyo específico. Además, mencionó que el Presidente de la República ha indicado que las Fuerzas Armadas no están preparadas para el control del orden público, destacando la capacidad de Carabineros y la Policía de Investigaciones. Guerrero también enfatizó la necesidad de limitar la duración de los estados de excepción, evitando que se conviertan en la nueva normalidad.

Minister of Security Martin Arrau announced during a press conference that the government will introduce approximately 15 new security-related projects over the coming weeks as part of its broader strategy against organized crime and terrorism. The announcement came following a joint operation conducted by Chile’s Carabineros police force and the Investigations Police (PDI) in the Estacion Central commune. Arrau emphasized that these measures form part of President Jose Antonio Kast's national security agenda, which includes a comprehensive legislative package known as the Anti-Criminal Organizations and Terrorism Agenda (ACOT). The ACOT initiative encompasses more than 30 proposed laws, some already under review and others set to be submitted in the near future. During a televised address, Kast outlined his directive to accelerate the passage of this agenda through Congress, highlighting its importance in addressing the country's growing concerns over safety and stability. Arrau described the plan as a decisive response not just from the government, but from the entire nation, aimed at dismantling the influence of organized crime and terrorism. Arrau stated that the measures would include legal tools to identify and target criminal organizations, enabling swift asset seizures and financial penalties. He noted that the legislation would allow for specialized prison regimes targeting organized criminals, drawing inspiration from successful models in countries such as Italy. He warned that organized crime extends beyond drug trafficking and extortion, threatening public spaces and even infiltrating institutions through corruption. The minister confirmed that around 20 projects are currently in progress, with another 15 expected to be introduced within the next few weeks. He expressed confidence in securing parliamentary support to expedite the process. Additionally, he mentioned ongoing discussions regarding constitutional reforms necessary to implement these changes effectively. Kast's announcement included plans for enhanced border controls using technology such as trenches, drones, and continuous monitoring systems. He stressed that no one should hide behind minors, lawyers, or false addresses while committing crimes. This approach reflects a broader effort to strengthen law enforcement capabilities and ensure accountability. The president also highlighted the need for improved resources for key agencies including Carabineros, PDI, and the Gendarmeria. He mentioned that the reform of the constitution is essential to enable deeper legal actions against criminal networks. Arrau added that while the armed forces have played a crucial role in border regions and southern areas, there are considerations about expanding their involvement through potential constitutional state of exception provisions. These developments underscore a significant shift in Chile’s approach to combating organized crime, emphasizing both legislative action and operational enhancements. As the government moves forward with these initiatives, the focus remains on implementing robust legal frameworks and technological advancements to secure public safety.
