President Kast defends his management in first month of government

Chile's President José Antonio Kast defended his administration's progress in its first month, stating that an entire state cannot be overhauled in one month. At the second session of the Strategic Audit and Fiscal Review Committee, he praised auditors for safeguarding public resources.

At the second session of the Strategic Audit and Fiscal Review Committee, President José Antonio Kast highlighted auditors as “encargados de velar porque los recursos de todos los chilenos se usen bien,” or those responsible for ensuring Chilean public resources are used properly.

Addressing comments on his first month in office, Kast stated, “Uno no cambia un Estado completo en un mes.” He noted that while some expected overnight changes after the election, his government is proceeding steadily: “we are in a process, reconfiguring some things according to regulations, advancing step by step.”

“Avancemos sin prisa, pero sin pausa,” or “let's advance without haste, but without pause,” the president added. He recalled warning that transformation would take time: “There are people who after the election say ‘great, tomorrow everything will be different.’ And we said no, this will take time.”
