Chilean Government evaluates withdrawing security reform to negotiate new text

constitutional reform security policy organized crime Chilean Senate penitentiary segregation

The Chilean government is evaluating the withdrawal of its current constitutional security reform to facilitate the negotiation of a new text with the Senate. Security Minister Martín Arrau stated that the administration is not attached to a specific wording, emphasizing that the primary goal is to secure effective tools to combat organized crime and improve penitentiary management.

The potential new proposal aims to build consensus by incorporating ideas from various political sectors, including contributions from senators Arturo Squella, Andrés Longton, and Paulina Vodanovic. Key objectives for the revised reform include enhancing the ability of Gendarmería to segregate and segment inmates linked to organized crime.

Senator Pedro Araya, president of the Senate Constitution Commission, confirmed that the government's willingness to withdraw the original project is conditional upon the existence of a viable alternative text that can garner broader political support. This move follows previous legislative difficulties in passing the original initiative.
