  • Laja has asked authorities to allow local fondas to remain open until 2 a.m., despite a regional order setting midnight closing times.
  • The commune is under a constitutional state of emergency, and a similar extension last year led to a complaint before Chile’s Comptroller General.

Laja has formally asked to keep its fondas open until 2 a.m., challenging a decision that limits ramadas to midnight across all 33 communes in Chile’s Biobío Region.

The request came from the municipality after the Biobío Presidential Delegation set the regional closing time. Laja, located in Biobío Province, is currently under a constitutional state of emergency.

The dispute echoes a controversy from last year. A military order allowed the fondas to operate until midnight, but the events in Laja nevertheless continued until 2 a.m. That led to a complaint before Chile’s Comptroller General.
