Hours after the President-elect, Gabriel Boric, will notify the top leaders of Chile Vamos that by assuming full power he will not renew the State of Emergency Constitutional Exception in the South Macrozone, deputies of National Renewal who represent districts affected by the escalation of violence, despite the fact that the measure has been in force for three months, expressed the need to tighten the restriction.

Two people died from gunshot wounds in an incident that occurred in the Chacamo sector, on the road that connects the communes of Carahue and Tirúa, adding to the cases of forestry worker Andrés Millanao in Cañete and Joel Ovalle in Angol.
“The State of Siege, as we said at the time, is not feasible to implement, except in the time that remains between now and March 11. We are going to continue requesting the State of Constitutional Exception, in order to provide security,” Delgado said at a press conference.
The head of the Interior also explained that in the States of Exception “we have achieved important figures, unblocking roads, seizure of weapons, seizure of vehicles, theft of wood, and 118 detainees since the beginning of the State of Exception.”
For his part, the regional governor of La Araucanía, Luciano Rivas, summoned the authorities at the central level and stressed that “these are the real things that happen in the region and we must remove the blindfold because there is terrorism here, there is extreme violence and what we no longer want is to have cases like that of Don Joel Ovalle or the latest deaths we have had in La Araucanía”.
“We will worry about taking the information to the central level, either to this government or to the one that comes, because the situation that is being seen are extreme situations that the seemers have been experiencing for many years,” the regional authority reiterated, according to what was reported.

Meanwhile, deputy Jorge Rathgeb (RN) lashed out at the “unacceptable events in La Araucanía… Again two deaths. Practically this week an average of one death, one murder, per day. A situation that must end, must end, no matter what is the reason for this”.
“In the Region of La Araucanía we are not used to this type of events and we cannot get used to it,” he said, calling on all the authorities, all the powers of the State, “to act, to risk it, so that the Region of La Araucanía returns to peace”.
Deputy Ericka Ñanco (RD) said, along the same lines, that “what is happening is very serious, it cannot be that in less than a week there are four people murdered.”
“Here clearly there has to be a much more exhaustive control of the public order forces and of the investigations that have to be done in this regard, because in any case they have to be reprehensible and the investigation process has to begin,” Ñanco added. .
