The decision that is taken again implies that both the anniversary of the social outburst of October 18 and the Constitutional Plebiscite will be under this decree. Last week the Interior Minister Victor Pérez had specified that the measure would only eventually be renewed for about ten days.

President Sebastián Piñera will extend the constitutional state of emergency for 90 days. The decision that is taken again implies that both the anniversary of the social outburst on 18 October and the Constitutional Plebiscite will be under the measures involved in this decree. As reported by Emol, the news should be reported soon. Thus, from La Moneda, they clarify that the exact date for the official announcement is unknown. In this way, the second extension that allows the curfew to be decreed and expired on 15 September, would be in force until December 2020. That is to say, last week the Minister of the Interior, Victor Pérez, specified that the State of Emergency would only extend for about ten days, that is, from September 15th to the 25th of this month for restrictions to be maintained at Fiestas Patrias.” We hope it will be 25 September to have a plebiscite under the most normal conditions possible, but if the circumstances are different, they will force the President of the Republic to set a different date,” he said at the time.
