Chile's new right-wing President José Antonio Kast, inaugurated in March 2026, has prioritized aggressive anti-crime and border security measures—including a national border shield plan with military deployments, physical barriers in the north, and increased armed forces staffing—without invoking a state of siege. Recent actions quelled potential unrest in Santiago after authorities seized a radical riot plot, restoring street calm within 48 hours, while student marches remain contained. Regional states of emergency for reconstruction in Valparaíso and Biobío regions address localized disasters, not nationwide threats. Traders' 83.5% "No" consensus reflects this proactive governance amid stable conditions, with no signals of grave internal perturbation warranting constitutional estado de sitio by June 30.

To count toward resolution, the corresponding decree must explicitly constitute a “State of Siege” as defined by Article 40 of the Chilean Constitution, i.e., it must not be rejected by the National Congress within five days of the President submitting the declaration (after which Congressional approval is deemed granted if no decision is issued).
Only declarations explicitly constituting an “Estado de Sitio” under Chile’s constitutional states of exception will count. If the legal name of the “Estado de Sitio” state of exception changes via constitutional reform but retains the same essential powers, it may qualify.
A declaration of a “State of Emergency” (Estado de Emergencia) or “State of Catastrophe” (Estado de Catástrofe) will not count.
If a region is under a State of Emergency and is subsequently upgraded to a State of Siege, the market resolves "Yes" once the State of Siege takes effect as described above.
A decree applying to any province or region of Chile will qualify.
The primary resolution source will be the Diario Oficial de la República de Chile (www.diariooficial.cl). However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
