As a writer for a news site, an interesting article that caught my attention is titled “Carter pide Estado de Excepción para la RM y la salida de Tohá.” According to the article, the former President of Chile, Eduardo Frei, or “Carter,” has called for a State of Emergency in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago (RM) due to the increase in crime and violence in the area. He also demanded the resignation of the current Regional Governor, Karla Rubilar Tohá, allegedly due to her inability to control the situation.
The article mentions that Carter’s request was made in a letter addressed to the President of Chile, Sebastián Piñera, calling for immediate action to address the alarming situation affecting the residents of RM. The article also details some of the alarming statistics, including a 39.5% increase in robbery with violence and intimidation and a 35.5% increase in homicides, compared to the same period last year.
Based on my personal knowledge of the situation, I know that crime and insecurity have been a persistent problem in RM for some time, affecting public opinion and trust in local authorities. The call for a State of Emergency and the resignation of the Governor are just some of the many calls for action to address this issue.
In conclusion, the article highlights the need for urgent action to address the problem of crime and violence in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago. The demand for a State of Emergency and the resignation of the Governor are just some of the many demands for change, indicating a growing concern among the public for their safety and well-being.
