In the escalating tensions of Chile's presidential transition, Ministers Camila Vallejo and Álvaro Elizalde on January 11 criticized a hardening opposition tone led by president-elect José Antonio Kast, following his recent fiscal attacks. They defended Boric's economic and security gains amid stalled legislative talks, as a new poll showed the president's approval at 33% ahead of the March handover.
President-elect José Antonio Kast interrupted his recess and reappeared on Tuesday in his Las Condes office, leading a series of intense political meetings. Among the highlights, he met with Johannes Kaiser, leader of the Partido Nacional Libertario, to discuss integration conditions into the future government. This activity takes place ahead of his official proclamation and a trip to Peru.
