Quiróz intenta explicar, Steiner no despega y Kast enfrenta un desgaste más profundo

In this episode of "Start Here," the panel analyzes Finance Minister Jorge Quiroz's interview, the political fallout from the crisis triggered by the Budget Directorate's official communication, and the government's difficulty in regaining control of its agenda after a week marked by explanations, retractions, and internal tensions. The conversation focuses on a central idea: the Executive's problem no longer appears to be solely one of communication. According to the panel, behind the noise lies something deeper: decisions with low political viability, an excessively centralized power structure, ministers who contradict each other, and a growing gap between the official narrative and public perception. Within this context, the interview with Security Minister Trinidad Steiner is also reviewed, along with the role of the inner circle, the president's declining popularity, and how the People's Party is once again establishing itself as a key player in legislative negotiations. 00:26 Context: Another key week for the mega-reform and security 01:38 Quiroz tries to explain the document and end the controversy 03:31 Was the problem one of communication or substance? 10:21 The political cost of the president having to explain himself 16:17 Second floor, ministers, and the dispute for internal control of the government 26:17 The Trinidad Steiner interview and the lack of a clear security plan 35:17 Security, public perception, and the erosion of the official narrative 40:09 What the polls show about leadership, team, and presidential support 45:08 Citizens as consumers of politics and the fragility of support for the government 48:12 The role of the PDG and the upcoming negotiations for the mega-reform 49:20 Closing Follow us on our social media and at https://www.elmostrador.cl/ Instagram:   / el_mostrador   Twitter:   / elmostrador   Facebook:   / elmostrador   TikTok:   / el_mostrador   #elmostrador #politics #opinion #news #currentaffairs #urgent
