# Boric promulgates Ley 21.560 Naín-Retamal after a 2022 homicide peak Date: 2023 ## The fact On 6 April 2023 President Boric promulgated Ley 21.560, known as Naín-Retamal, together with three neighbouring security statutes (21.555 extortion, 21.557 kidnapping, 21.556 weapons in crowded places). Diario Oficial published Ley 21.560 on 10 April. The statute privileges legitimate defence for public-force officers and raises penalties for attacks on Carabineros, PDI and Gendarmería. Interior’s 2022 combined print of 1,330 murders (rate 6.7) sat as parent weather. Rights-group concern recorded by HRW is neighbouring, not a unique torture integer. ## Context Cabo Daniel Palma was killed the same night. February 2023 northern-border military patrols sat as a parallel security instrument. He did not sit as a Carabinero. 4 September 2022 Rechazo is parent political weather. 2023 homicide dip is a later print, not this statute as a twin. Keep Boric promulgates Ley 21.560 Naín-Retamal after a 2022 homicide peak on 2023-04-06 separate from neighbouring 4 September 2022 Rechazo, Ley 21.560, 17 December 2023 En contra, Ley 21.735, and the 11 March 2026 handover. The president of Chile is head of state and head of government. He can promulgate statutes Congress sends and order border patrols. He does not sit as a SERVEL teller, a Constitutional Convention drafter, a Carabinero at a checkpoint, or a Peruvian border clerk. ## Evidence and sources Ministry of the Interior and Public Security of Chile carries the official instrument or communique. Human Rights Watch records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is [boric](/people/gabriel-boric)-constitutional-security: a completed police-protection statute after a homicide peak, remaining rights-group concern as neighbour. ## What is established and what is not Established: Ley 21.560 was promulgated on 6 April 2023 and published on 10 April; Interior had printed a 2022 homicide peak. Not established: A unique later torture coefficient, or a unique 2024 undocumented-migrant stock from this promulgation day. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. He promulgated. Carabineros implement. Rights groups recorded concern.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Boric promulgates Ley 21.560 Naín-Retamal after a 2022 homicide peak, not a later speech about Boric promulgates Ley 21.560 Naín-Retamal after a 2022 homicide peak. Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Boric promulgates Ley 21.560 Naín-Retamal after a 2022 homicide peak on 2023-04-06 is not a licence to treat every later Ministry of the Interior and Public Security of Chile communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Boric promulgates Ley 21.560 Naín-Retamal after a 2022 homicide peak into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Congress passed. He promulgated. Carabineros implement. Rights groups recorded concern. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Gabriel Boric: https://factrail.ai/people/gabriel-boric ## Drivers - Boric-era constitutional rewrite and domestic security: https://factrail.ai/drivers/boric-constitutional-security ## Sources - https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2024/country-chapters/chile - https://www.interior.gob.cl/noticias/2023/04/06/presidente-boric-promulga-4-leyes-para-el-combate-a-la-delincuencia ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/cl-boric-nain-retamal-2023
