Original article: Gracias por nada: Duras críticas a gobierno de Kast por el cambio de gabinete más rápido desde el retorno a la democracia Harsh Criticism for Kast’s Government Following Quickest Cabinet Reshuffle Since Democracy’s Return After President José A. Kast confirmed his decision to reshuffle his cabinet just 69 days into his term, opposition members voiced strong criticisms, particularly targeting the evident lack of planning in his early days at La Moneda. Preliminary reports indicate that the Minister of Security, Trinidad Steinert, and government spokesperson, Mara Sedini, will be replaced by Martín Arrau, who previously served as Minister of Public Works, and Claudio Alvarado, who will assume the dual roles of Minister of the Interior and Minister Secretary General of Government.
Additionally, Louis de Grange, the current Minister of Transport, will take over the Public Works portfolio, also in a biministerial role. “Kast chose this cabinet. No one forced him,” stated Congressman Daniel Manouchehri (PS), adding, “In just 70 days, he’s already dismissing ministers.
” “The removal of Steinert and Sedini signifies an acknowledgment of failure and improvisation. This is the fastest cabinet change in history. This is the weakest cabinet we’ve seen in a long time.
The President needs to reflect on his choices and explain why he appointed individuals without a plan, direction, or capability,” emphasized the socialist legislator. In a similar vein, Front Amplio senator Diego Ibáñez commented that “improvisation, chaos, and lack of leadership characterize President Kast’s management of security with Steinert in charge. ” “These were 60 lost days for Chile, failing to meet the standards he set for himself during his campaign.
Our country needs a concrete security plan: for the good of everyone, they must start governing,” the Valparaíso region legislator insisted. Senator Fabiola Campillai offered her perspective, stating, “The ‘emergency government’ turned out to be such a failure that the first minister to be dismissed was the one in charge of security. ” Meanwhile, Congresswoman Gael Yeomans asserted that “the ultimate responsibility lies with José Antonio Kast as President of the Republic.
” “They had no plan for security. They appointed a minister without the necessary qualifications, who didn’t even realize she needed them. They lacked design and spent months deceiving people to win an election while Chileans are now paying the price for this government’s improvisation,” criticized the Front Amplio legislator.
Congresswoman Irací Hassler stated, “What we are witnessing is neither a metaphor nor an exaggeration: this is a governmental design that has failed. This cabinet reshuffle reflects improvisation, disorder, and lack of leadership. It is evidence of a project that promised certainties but now conveys economic and political uncertainty.
” Municipal leaders also expressed their criticisms. Javiera Reyes, mayor of Lo Espejo, pointed out that “this record-time cabinet reshuffle clearly shows that there is no work plan from the government. ” “The Minister of Security, who was supposedly a priority for implementing the economic program, has been dismissed.
The President must respond to this embarrassment,” the municipal chief warned. News in progress.
