In Chile, tensions between the central government and the border regions are increasing due to the increase in the flow of irregular migrants. From the Tarapac region they denounce the failure of the government of Sebastin Piera to address the migratory crisis, specifically with the deployment of the armed forces at the transitory point of Colchane.

The governor of Tarapac, Jos Miguel Carvajal, maintains a quite critical opinion and maintains that the decision to launch the program to bring order to the border did not generate any impact within its territory: We believe that the plan has been a failure of the Piera government, he says.

Javier Garca, mayor of Colchane, one of the municipalities most affected by the current crisis, believes that the Colchane plan does not exist. He says that the border has been militarized, but what the army has done in practice is control mobility or movementof the Chilean settlers and denounces that there is no concrete action that prevents the entry of immigrants.

In addition, irritation with Pieras policy has been exacerbated by the death of a Venezuelan migrant who tried to cross the border near Colchane on foot. The 56-year-old man died while trying to enter Chile from Bolivia through this cold highland region.

In total, there are already 11 migrants who have died in this non-authorized step so far in 2021.

In addition, it is worrying that of the 6,000 migrants estimated to have entered the country irregularly since the beginning of the year, more than 2,000 are children, many of them unaccompanied.

The situation is affecting the local population, as the journalist Rodrigo Martnez denounces, who tell how moved by the need to cover basic needs, such as hunger or cold, some migrants are entering houses of the local inhabitants.

Although most occupy the public space: the streets, avenues, squares or beaches. There is no basic service for them, there are no bathrooms, they cook outdoors. This is what, in one way or another, is causing the population some concern and there is outrage at the lack of response from the authorities, both the regional and national government in this regard, says Martnez.
