From Paris, France, the President Gabriel Boric refers to the installation of a military base Argentina on Chilean territory.
The head of state explained that he had spoken about the incident with the Trans-Andean president, Javier Milei, and that he hoped that it would be resolved as quickly as possible. “What we have to do here is respect the borders. “This is what we demand regarding our territory.”
In the same spirit, Boric also issued a warning to the Argentine government: “They need to remove these solar panels as soon as possible, otherwise we’re going to do it.”

The border controversy began to brew on April 29, the day the Argentine Navy inaugurated the “Milestone 1 of the maritime traffic surveillance and control station” in order to improve the living and working conditions of the establishment’s staff.
The work is located in the heart of Patagonia, on the exact border that separates Chile from the trans-Andean country. On the Chilean side it is located in the Magallanes region.

According to the Argentine Navy, The Mirgor Foundation and the Total Energies company donated two housing modules and solar panels to provide electricity. In addition to these structures, photovoltaic screens were also installed.
“This initiative will improve the conditions of habitability, operability and sustainability of the post, constituting an example of joint work between the institutions of the National State and the contribution of private companies,” said Commodore José Alberto Martí Garro during of the inauguration ceremony.
However, it was later revealed that the solar panels had penetrated more than three meters into Chilean territory. This was confirmed by the Directorate of State Borders and Boundaries, an agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It is also a strategic area: this is where the eastern mouth of the Strait of Magellan is located.
Last week, the Argentine ambassador to Chile, Jorge Faurie, admitted that it was a “material error”, since the person responsible for the installation had been guided “by a fence in a room” which is there. He also argued that it would not be possible to complete the withdrawal so soon. .
“The problem is that it would not be possible to move them at the moment. We will have to wait until summer,” says Faurie.
After the warning issued by President Boric, the media Infobae reported that the The Argentine government plans to remove the solar panels in the coming hours. The official announcement is expected to be made public this Monday, following meetings between Foreign Minister Diana Mondino and Argentine Defense Minister Luis Petri.
