Mega reforma, indultos y empleo: los flancos que tensionan al gobierno en el Congreso

The rejection of the constitutional accusation against former minister Nicolás Grau opened a new tension within the ruling coalition and revealed, according to political scientist Cata Riquelme, a lack of legislative skill and an increasingly instrumental use of this tool. In this episode of The Political Week, we analyze the repercussions of the failed accusation, the President's role in addressing the differences between the ruling coalition parties, the proposed general pardon for members of the armed forces in the context of the social unrest, and the potential impact of the People's Party as a pivotal force in the Senate. We also discuss the processing of Minister Quiroz's mega-reform, the role of Senate President Paulina Núñez in opening spaces for dialogue, and the debate surrounding unemployment figures, labor market reactivation, and the 22 proposals from the roundtable convened to address the deteriorating labor market. A conversation about the boundaries between governing, negotiating, and maintaining majorities in a fragmented political landscape, where employment and growth are once again at the center of public debate.
