In 2025, the Chilenian Ministry of Justice announced plans to expropriate approximately 116 hectares for this purpose. In 2026 Chile's right-wing government under President [[José Antonio Kast]] intends to halt the planned expropriation of land for a memorial on the grounds of the former German sect Colonia Dignidad. The project was intended to commemorate the victims of serious crimes. Housing Minister Iván Poduje said the decision should be reversed.
