“If so, some commune, but not the entire region”he stated, warning that he was “getting ahead of himself.”

After the presentation, Paris answered a series of questions from legislators.
“We are going to make some modifications in Step by Step, I don’t want to give it fancy names, but generally they give it 2.0 or what do I know. You have to modify some elements of the Step by Step, because I believe that there are regional realities that must be respected and that must be taken into account so that the same criteria are not applied strictly in Arica, where they can be on the streets all day, or in Punta Arenas or Aysén, ”the minister told the deputies.
“We have decided to reformulate the plan Step by Step”, advanced the head of the Minsal, pointing out that it must consider different regional and communal realities, even.
