Honestly, I don’t have much faith in any government, and Jara would have been problematic in her own way. Still, I feel like there have been so many communication gaffes and own goals with this administration.
When Steiner was announced as Security Minister, my husband said she was going to be a problem. When he did his law internship at Santiago 1, he had dealings with her. She had conflicts with everyone.
What are others’ thoughts?
After only two months in office, its inevitable that errors were going to occur., but I get the impression that the media were more inclined to be more lenient with the Boric maladministration’s early days.
I would give this lot more time to sort their sh** out
Well, my husband predicted it. “Doesn’t play well with others Steinert” is out. Let’s hope they are able to short their sh*t out. What surprises me most is that security/crime was the big issue he campaigned on, but there doesn’t seem to be a plan.
Time will tell, I guess.
Murky dealings from the family of recently elected diputado republicano Alejandro Riquelme Ducci:
According to a complaint from Serviu itself, the Republican deputy’s wife omitted information in order to obtain a “vulnerable family” housing subsidy. She did not explain her relationship with her husband, with whom she registered at least four companies. The concealment of her antecedents placed her in a condition of “high housing deficit” and “overcrowding.” According to the official letter, one of the firms registers contracts and agreements with public organizations for more than 1,096 million pesos between 2007 and 2025.
This is the same parliamentarian who recently denounced similar irregularities in the Magallanes regional government.
Punta Arenas. April 13, 2026. The Deputy for Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica, Alejandro Riquelme Ducci, presented a formal complaint to the Comptroller General of the Republic, requesting an exhaustive investigation into possible extremely serious events that occurred within the Regional Government of Magallanes. The information collected reveals possible irregularities in public procurement processes that would involve the delivery of several contracts to a company with direct family ties to a senior official of the Regional Government itself.
I had hoped that Kast’s party would be a little less dishonest or hypocritical than Frente Amplio, but it looks like the same old, same old…
Entre ladrones no hay honor
Definitely the same old same old, no matter what party affiliation they have, sadly.
