Following the blockage of over a hundred migrants at the northern border, Peru declared a state of emergency in Tacna to control irregular migration. Chile responded by deploying officials and activating diplomatic dialogue, leading to the formation of a binational migration cooperation committee. The body will meet on Monday to coordinate solutions and prevent a humanitarian crisis.
Peru's interim president José Jerí announced an emergency state on the country's borders to combat crime and curb irregular migration, sparking reactions in Chile. Arica's governor Diego Paco and presidential candidate José Antonio Kast demanded President Gabriel Boric's presence in the northern zone to take urgent measures. From the officialism, Senator Tomás de Rementería criticized the calls as a politicized alarm.
