The Minister of Finance, Jorge Quiroz, demanded a 15% cut in the Universal Guaranteed Pension budget, based on unsubstantiated claims of "social fraud" that have not been documented by any public entity, according to findings from CIPER.

The President attempts to shift a campaign promise, made to expel 300,000 undocumented migrants "on the first day", into the realm of semantics. This is not about metaphors or hyperboles, but about a hardline slogan that is now seeking reinterpretation from La Moneda.

Jorge Quiroz has spent three decades doing one thing: advising Chile’s largest companies when they have legal issues. Not with criminal law —that’s for others— but with competition law, tariff regulation, and the agencies that theoretically protect consumers. The pattern shows a remarkable regularity. Every time a large company in Chile was caught in a cartel, they knew who to call: Better call Quiroz.

In a late-night session, the Finance Commission of the Chilean Chamber of Deputies approved a contentious economic-tax reform bill, which includes tax cuts and a long-term tax shield aimed at benefiting the wealthy and large corporations.

The Ministry of Security's recent operations and their effectiveness are under scrutiny as questions arise regarding how many detainees remain in custody and the lack of a structured security plan from the government.

Ximena Lincolao arrived as a symbol of technical efficiency but became ensnared in omitted societies, the resignation of Rafael Araos, and allegations of mass layoffs. Her crisis challenges the business-like narrative that Kast aims to impose on the State.

Following José Antonio Kast's controversial remarks about his promise to expel 300,000 migrants, opposition leaders have accused him of deceit during his electoral campaign, asserting that he has instead cut essential social rights since taking office.

In a strong condemnation, Senator Karol Cariola asserted that this measure "only affects those relying on public health services. It is inexplicable that a government claiming to be committed to the people is ultimately turning its back on the poorest in our country." The budget cut for the Ministry of Health reaches $413.193 million and disproportionately impacts the Undersecretariat of Health Networks, which manages funding for Chile's public hospitals.

Reducing the value of scientific, humanistic, and philosophical research to its immediate profitability is an unmistakable sign of obscurantism. Modern societies do not advance solely by producing commodities; they progress by developing knowledge, critical thinking, technological innovation, and scientific capabilities.

Rafael Araos's departure from the Undersecretariat of Science has exposed significant internal conflicts within the government, as he disputed Minister Ximena Lincolao's dismissal narrative and confirmed the existence of a massive layoff plan.
