  • The 'Bloque de Seguridad' initiative, led by Interior Minister John Reimberg, follows a record 9,000 violent deaths in 2025, with officials targeting criminal structures linked to drug cartels.

  • During the first 24 hours, authorities detained 253 individuals for curfew violations, as Reimberg confirmed 45,000 Armed Forces members and 56,000 National Police personnel committed to the operation.
  • Citizens like Gênesis Torres demand permanent militarization, questioning whether violence will surge again once the 15-day measure expires and patrols cease.
