- Chilean Senate President Paulina Núñez said a government-backed proposal to create a new state of emergency lacks sufficient support in Congress.
- The measure forms part of a constitutional reform package aimed at combating organized crime.
- Núñez also warned of a crisis in the Senate as lawmakers debate the proposal.
Paulina Núñez, president of Chile’s Senate, delivered a blunt assessment of the government’s proposed new state of emergency: “It had no chance.”
Núñez said the initiative, included in a constitutional reform pushed by the government to confront organized crime, would not secure enough backing to move through Congress. Her comments place the proposal’s prospects at the center of a broader debate over how Chile should respond to criminal groups.
The Senate leader also warned of a crisis in the upper chamber. The debate over the reform has exposed a lack of agreement around one of the government’s principal proposals, even as lawmakers consider measures intended to strengthen the state’s response to organized crime.
It had no chance.
