Maorí Ñancucheo, the leader of the Domingo Ñancucheo and Domingo Melin Community, claims that CONADI is unjustifiably delaying the purchase of land from the Diocese of Villarrica, who have expressed their willingness to sell and have granted the land in lease, acknowledging it rightfully belongs to the community.

The countdown is targeting thousands of migrant families with the promise of immediate expulsions.

The elected president becomes the first leader since the return to democracy to reintroduce the symbol of the coat of arms in the presidential sash, echoing the practices of Pinochet.

Kast's participation in the 'Shield of the Americas' summit in Miami is not merely symbolic: it formally incorporates Chile into a far-right political-military alliance that acts as an instrument of American interests in the region. The former diplomats calling it a 'kissing of Trump's hand' fall short: it represents a public assumption of strategic subordination.

Government spokesperson Camila Vallejo clarified the status of the Chile-China Express submarine cable project, asserting that the initiative is still undergoing evaluation despite misconceptions of an approved status, and addressed international pressures regarding the project's progress.

The Chinese ambassador to Chile, Niu Qingbao, staunchly defended the submarine fiber optic cable project linking Valparaíso with Hong Kong, asserting its compliance with Chilean law and denying any risks to regional security, particularly in response to U.S. government criticisms.

The U.S. imposes sanctions over a cable still under evaluation, prompting Boric to assert that Chile will not allow its sovereignty to be "undermined" by threats. The final decision rests with Kast's government.

"I believe that Ambassador Brandon Judd is mistaken when he makes threats in our country and undermines our authorities as if we were a U.S. colony. Such behavior is unacceptable, blatantly violating diplomatic duties, so I urge the government to declare the U.S. ambassador as persona non grata," stated Deputy Luis Cuello, who sent a formal letter to Foreign Minister Alberto van Klaveren addressing this issue.

Washington stepped into the discussion: it sanctioned Chilean officials over a cable still under evaluation, reigniting the debate over digital sovereignty. With the Foreign Ministry drawing a red line, Kast faces an uncomfortable dilemma: defend the state’s decision or yield to pressure.

The Chilean Government has firmly rejected U.S. pressures regarding the evaluation of the Hong Kong-Valparaíso submarine cable project, stating it will be assessed on its own merits without interference.
