Santiago Mayor Mario Desbordes reacted to the announcement by the Ministry of Housing, which approved the proposal to expand the Santiago 1 prison to build a new high-security prison. Desbordes criticized the initiative, calling it a technical error that would put the most dangerous prisoners in the heart of the city, and recalled that prisons in Chile are often built outside urban areas. He expressed concern about possible incidents and announced a meeting with the Minister of Justice to present his arguments, not ruling out taking legal action to stop the project. He stated that the area already houses numerous prisons and that residents do not deserve to live in such conditions.
