Chile marca 81 de 100 en riesgo político: Imas alerta por economía y gobernabilidad

Chile scores 81 out of 100 on the political risk index analyzed by Ignacio Imas, a political scientist and public affairs manager, who warns of a marked structural vulnerability stemming from economic deterioration, governance problems, and public distrust. In an interview with El Mostrador, Imas addresses the complex economic scenario, the employment situation, the gap between Finance Minister Jorge Quiroz's optimism and public perception, as well as the impact of insecurity and signs of institutional weakening. The analysis also examines the fragmentation of the ruling coalition, the dependence on ad hoc agreements with the People's Party (PDG), President José Antonio Kast's leadership, and Quiroz's political weight within the government. In closing, Imas raises a fundamental warning: the accumulated frustration with the new left and right could pave the way for populist leaders like Johannes Kaiser and Franco Parisi, with lasting effects on the party system. A conversation about the economy, governance, and citizen disaffection at a time of high pressure for the Chilean political system.
