In a new episode of El Radar, Richard Kouyoumdjian speaks with General (R) John Griffiths, Executive Director of AthenaLab and former Chief of the General Staff of the Chilean Army, about the main challenges the country faces in terms of security and defense, addressing the constitutional reform promoted by the Government, the new state of emergency for public security, and the proposed measures to combat organized crime and terrorism.
The program also analyzes the debate regarding the role of the Armed Forces in public security tasks, the concerns raised about potential military involvement in operations against organized crime, and the discussion on the limits, powers, and coordination that should exist between military institutions and the police.
Additionally, we delve into the current state of the Chilean Armed Forces, the budgetary challenges they face, and the debate on how far they should engage in functions traditionally linked to public order, amid the new security demands facing the country.
