Minister Montes for cabinet change: “The Government has to strengthen its action and its projection”

The head of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (Minvu), Minister Carlos Montes, addressed the cabinet change that could take place during March in La Moneda, shortly after one year of the government of President Gabriel Boric.
Government spokeswoman Camila Vallejo referred to the possible ministerial adjustment. In this regard, the Secretary of State and militant of the Communist Party (PC) said that “it must be without pressure, because they are analyses and reflections made by the President.”

President Boric himself ruled out having suffered “pressure” from the political parties of the ruling party to make a cabinet adjustment “soon” and emphasized that “we are always evaluating the teams.”
Asked about the possible adjustment, in a conversation with the T13 newscast, Minister Montes stressed, “that depends on the president, as all the ministers say,” but he believes that it is good “to affirm the team and make adjustments in the team.”
“The president will see what characteristics and what content because a very demanding stage is coming and the government has to strengthen its action and its projection,” said the head of Minvu and militant of the Socialist Party (PS).
On the current composition of the cabinet, Minister Carlos Montes reiterated: “I think it is good that it is strengthened.”
It is worth mentioning that for months a new air has been anticipated in the ministries of the Government, which would bring another balance of powers in terms of the political parties of the ruling party and their presence in the various portfolios.
Although there is no confirmed information, sources close to La Moneda say that there could be changes of undersecretaries in March and that Democratic Socialism would be the coalition that would gain more prominence than it currently has.
