This morning, representatives of Renovación Nacional (RN) and the Republican Party (PR) attended the Government Palace to deliver to President Gabriel Boric a requirement regarding the security agenda. In particular, regarding the immediate discussion of irregular migration in Congress and the Calles sin Violencia plan.
The visit was headed by the RN deputy, diego schalper and the councilors Augustine Iglesias (Independence) and Philip Mancilla (Florida). The request implies the classification of irregular entry into the country as a crime: “it must be assumed that today illegal immigration is an integral part of the rise in crimes that are being committed,” said Schalper.

Along these lines, the party’s general secretary stated that “we believe that in addition to the poor performance of administrative expulsions, the difficult situation that the Head of Migrations has placed on us, we have added the need to provoke greater punitive action by the State regarding clandestine entry”.
Shalper called for urgency on this matter by the Executive branch. “We ask the President of the Republic that the real fast track is made by the immediate discussion,” he said. In addition, he pointed to the implementation of the Streets Without Violence Plan, after the Government clarified the communes in which it will begin to be applied.
“The councilors (of RN) have expressed their concern because hopefully in the Calles Sin Violencia program there will be a section intended to take charge of certain neighborhoods, especially in urban communes, where unfortunately real crowds are concentrated, often in irregular residences, of illegal migrants”.
“Hopefully the government understands that this requires concrete, precise and limited actions, and that we not only make an abstract plan where we give resources to the municipalities to build public spaces, but rather that we make specific interventions,” criticized the parliamentarian.
In addition, the deputy pointed out, as well as the National Prosecutor, Angel Valenciastipulated the idea of making arrests of foreigners who are caught committing crimes without identification, from the Legislative power “our way of contributing to this is that those people who make clandestine entry into the country, to the extent that this law is approved, be classified as a crime”.
