What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The Chilean government proposed an 86% budget cut to the Responsible Pet Ownership Programme (Ley Cholito) for 2027, as detailed in President José Antonio Kast’s first budget bill. The plan also removes the budget line for the Calles sin Violencia street-crime plan. Separately, a criminal investigation was launched into potential bribery of public officials from the previous government, following a preliminary report that found 64 out of 105 Haitian children could not be located at their registered addresses.
