Following the severe crisis experienced in the Atacama region of Chile due to a weather front system, Deputy Jaime Mulet requested the inclusion of Minister of Environment Francisca Toledo in the Political Committee, the government's main decision-making body. Mulet stated that global climate change triggers extreme weather events frequently seen in the country, emphasizing that public policies must take this reality into account in all areas.
The Deputy stated that basic services such as communication, drinking water, electricity, and transportation were disrupted in the region; and that many settlements such as Huasco, Freirina, and Vallenar were completely cut off from the outside world. Although he viewed positively the government's declaration of a state of emergency (disaster) for the region, he stated that this step was insufficient on its own.
