Monday was not the hardest day for Gabriel Boric, the Chilean president, but this Tuesday. The right had asked him to define the interlocutors for the negotiations of the new constituent process, for which the definition of his new cabinet soon became necessary and urgent.
Thus, he broke up with his affections and friends who led him to the presidency and then accompanied him to the government, to make way for the center left in the most important positions.
The Trans-Andean president let go of his interior minister and head of ministers, Izkia Siches. Once a rising star of Chilean politics, the former president of the Medical Association has faced the vicissitudes of politics and a complex agenda marked by the Mapuche conflict.
Siches was independent, he did not have a party, but he had come to that opposition after taking the lead of Boric’s campaign in the second round.
