Two days after the setback in the constitutional plebiscite, Boric approaches the political center with figures such as Tohá and Uriarte, since both held high positions during the governments of the former president Michelle Bachelet (2006-2010; 2014-2018).

Lastly, the manager Energy, Claudius Huepewas replaced by Diego Pardowthe person in charge of preparing the electoral program for Gabriel Boric in the presidential elections.
Gabriel Boric justifies the change in the cabinet
Once the inauguration of the new Chilean ministers concluded, President Gabriel Boric recognized that “cabinet changes are always dramatic.” “Hurts, but it is necessary. It is perhaps one of the most politically difficult moments that I have had to face,” he said.
He stressed that the appointment of new ministers “is not just protocol,” but it is also about change of the “political committee” and the “conduction of the Government”.
During his speech, Boric emphasized that the new cabinet “will address with a sense of country” all the “urgencies” of Chile in relation to the new Constitution but “without neglecting the structural reforms” to which he committed during the electoral campaign. .
The electoral setback of the new Constitution
This movement comes just two days after more than 62% of Chileans rejected the implementation of a new Constitution, a document prepared over a year by a Constitutional Convention emerged after the social outbreak in Chile in October 2019.
In fact, the president already announced on Sunday, the date on which the referendum was held, a series of changes in the government team, arguing that the “important and urgent challenges” require adjustments “to face this new period with renewed vigor.”
Analysts pointed out that the resounding failure of the proposal, openly supported by Gabriel Boric and his government, also represented a vote punishment to his management in the midst of a scenario that combines an economic slowdown, high inflation, an increase in crime and acute crises due to irregular immigration and an indigenous conflict.
However, the ruler did not make any changes to his economic team led by the Minister of Finance, Mario Marcel.
