Chilean deputy defends sovereignty shield amid Bachelet, Boric criticism

Republican deputy Catalina Del Real rebuts former President Bachelet and President Boric over their criticism of the 'Shield of the Americas' initiative, arguing that international cooperation is essential to fight organized crime and that sovereignty does not preclude engagement. The exchange highlights domestic political friction over security policy, with the government facing pressure from opposition on crime. The outcome of this debate may shape Chile's approach to regional security cooperation.
