Kast Government Ends Boric's 'Calles sin Violencia' Plan, New Security Formula for 2027

Chile's new government under President José Antonio Kast is eliminating the 'Calles sin Violencia' security program, a flagship initiative of the previous Boric administration, by removing its budget allocation for 2027. This marks a clear policy reversal and a political challenge to former Interior Minister Tohá and the prior government's approach. The move signals a shift in security strategy, though the specifics of the replacement formula remain unclear.
