🇨🇱📝👁 — The president of Chile, Gabriel Boric, enacted the so-called Private Security Law, which will regulate the sector amid an increase in insecurity and violence in the Latin American country.

➡️ The measure will allow "greater territorial control by Carabineros and the Investigative Police." Boric announced that he ordered the Minister of the Interior, Carolina Tohá, to initiate the process for the law to take effect "in less than three months."

"This law, part of the 23 projects of the 'Prioritized Agenda on Security Matters,' represents the most robust advancement in our history in perfecting legislation on security, adding up to a total of 51 approved projects."

➡️ The new norm includes harsher penalties for those who attack private guards, while also establishing a series of regulations, such as requiring specific qualifications to practice the profession, as well as modernizing certification processes.

❗️ In Chile, there are over 2,500 security companies, employing more than 86,000 accredited guards. According to the news portal BioBio Chile, there was no comprehensive regulation on private security in the Latin American country.

⚠️ The law has been enacted at a time when the president of Chile has announced an extensive package of measures to combat insecurity due to the increase in crime and organized crime in several areas of the country, including the metropolitan region of Santiago.

🇰🇵🔫 — 🏴 ZeroHedge | Kim Jong Un Drives Tank In Live-Fire 'Preparations For War' Drill | March 15, 2024:

"North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has staged some interesting military theatrics ahead of next week's expected visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to South Korea for the third Summit for Democracy.

The recent renewal of ongoing major US live-fire exercises on the peninsula has also triggered sharp denunciations from Pyongyang. On Thursday Kim oversaw his own live-fire exercises, while riding in the north's newest battle tank.

The North Korean leader wore a black leather jacket and mounted a new tank, supposedly driving it himself, according to state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

State media ominously described the exercise as part of "preparations for war":

Kim expressed “great satisfaction” that the tank – first unveiled during a 2020 military parade – demonstrated its striking power in its inaugural performance display and told his troops to bolster their “fighting spirits” and complete “preparations for war”, KCNA said."
