Diputados RN piden a Cancillería revisar los tratados con Bolivia en medio de crisis migratoria

As tensions simmer between Chile and Bolivia over a surge in immigration, lawmakers are urging the foreign ministry to review existing treaties. Members of the conservative party, RN, are calling for a reassessment of the two countries’ agreements as well as a tightening of border controls to stave off what they say is a potential security threat. The move comes amid a worsening humanitarian crisis driven by an influx of migrants, many of whom are fleeing Bolivia’s long-standing economic and political woes. While there has been little comment so far from the Bolivian authorities, the increasing political and social friction threatens to escalate further as both nations seek to manage the situation. As the situation unfolds, it will be interesting to see how the governments tackle the problem - and what impact it will have on bilateral relations going forward.
