The government of Peru declared a state of emergency on Friday at the southern border with Chile, in anticipation of an influx of people who might try to flee due to the candidacy of Jose Antonio Kast, a far-right politician. According to the decree, the Peruvian army will strengthen border control in the Tacna region for a period of 60 days. This measure reflects concerns about the possible victory of Kast, which has sparked controversy among the population, and the government wants to ensure that the flow of migrants is managed properly. The state of emergency will allow authorities to implement additional measures to control the situation at the border and protect national security.
