Security and migration
Irregular migration Expel irregular migrants
Said
Expulsions of migrants have begun under the new government and will not stop; the previous government should have carried them out long ago.
“Lo que no se sabe es exactamente cuánta gente ha salido, cuánta gente menos ha ingresado, pero en el contexto de que empieza a generarse algo que no va a parar, que es precisamente estas expulsiones, que desde hace mucho rato en el gobierno pasado las debieron haber hecho, vamos a empezar a tener conocimiento de cuáles son los números que hay detrás.”
Our translation What is not known is exactly how many people have left, how many fewer have come in, but in the context that something is starting that is not going to stop, which is precisely these expulsions, which the previous government should have carried out a long time ago, we are going to start to learn what the numbers behind it are.

Economy and pensions
Pensions Individual accounts only
Said
All pension savings should go to workers' individual accounts, and the 2025 reform's state loan from contributions should be repealed.
“Queremos al igual que millones de chilenos que el 100% de los ahorros vaya a las cuentas individuales tal como lo dijimos incansablemente durante la tramitación de esta mala reforma de pensiones”
