Pleased to see most of the ministers are not from his own party, which wouldn’t have had enough good people - perhaps if he gets a second term it will be different. As well as the independents, there are choices from UDI, RN, Evopoli etc. They look experienced as well. Miinster of Defence, Fernando Barros, doesn’t seem to have relevant experience according to the Emol bio?
Worth scrolling to the bottom of the article.
Hopefully this sensible looking list of ministers is a sign that Kast is relatively more serious than some far right/populist right leaders in the US, UK etc.
Mosciatti has expressed doubts about some of Kast’s future ministers.
Kast has already made overtures towards the powerful and quite unscrupulous local business sector:
“ con una inocenia digna de una Monja de clausura” (41:50)
and fears that the outcome may benefit their interests, rather than those of the nation.
Time will tell, but over the last decade or so, it seems impossible here to form governments composed of individuals who act unselfishly for the betterment of the nation, rather than for their own personal and sectorial advantage.
Not holding my breath waiting for Kast to turn the country around…
