Amidst the crisis in Rabat: Alvarado and Arenas disclose the parties that are working on a new political design for the cabinet.

The Chilean parties, representing Chile Vamos, expressed unease upon meeting with co-minister Claudio Alvarado regarding the government's handling of the crisis sparked by sentence reductions for sexual offenses against minors, viewing it as a critical moment in President Kast’s administration. The Interior Minister and Segegob Undersecretary called for calm while stating they were working on a new political design for the cabinet, which anticipates changes in the ministerial team. This shift was anticipated to include the departure of Minister of Justice Fernando Rabat, who had received public support from Kast despite criticisms. Pressure for this adjustment has been ongoing, with the parties suggesting formulas to add political experience to the ministerial team, such as involving parliamentarians. Although the process was initially planned for December or January, the crisis accelerated the timeline. The focus is now on establishing a new design, including the timing of a constitutional complaint against the Minister of Justice and persuading President Kast. Furthermore, the parties have proposed restructuring some ministries, specifically regarding the Science portfolio and the Labor ministry, as well as merging certain portfolios like Interior/Segegob and Mining/Economy.

The narrative demonstrates a dynamic where external pressure—the constitutional crisis and internal political dissatisfaction reflected in declining polling and economic conditions—forces structural negotiation within the executive branch. The core tension lies between the executive's desire for stability (as evidenced by Kast’s resistance to immediate changes) and the parties' collective need for reform based on accumulated experience. The shift from an internally conceived plan for the second term to an accelerated timeline following the Rabat crisis illustrates how acute external events can redefine political feasibility, compelling a move toward more disruptive structural changes. The concept of "political design" becomes a vehicle for managing deep institutional fissures. The proposed formulas—adding experienced figures and restructuring ministries—reveal that the dissatisfaction is not merely about personnel but about perceived mismanagement within specific sectors (Science, Labor) and an imbalance in executive authority. The reluctance to announce an immediate change, with leaders deferring decision-making to the President, suggests a deliberate attempt to manage risk associated with institutional splitting, which the potential filing of a constitutional complaint could trigger. The process risks becoming reactive, where procedural maneuvering obscures substantive political will regarding accountability and management efficacy.
