Chilean President Gabriel Boric has reshuffled his cabinet, appointing Nicolás Grau as the new Minister of Hacienda following the resignation of Mario Marcel. Marcel's departure, attributed to personal reasons, triggered a nearly 10-peso surge in the Chilean peso's exchange rate against the dollar and prompted the government to prepare further cabinet changes. Alongside Grau's appointment, Ignacia Fernández has been named Minister of Agriculture, replacing Esteban Valenzuela, who was removed amid political tensions related to the FRVS party's decision to run separately in the upcoming parliamentary elections, which led to dissatisfaction within the government. Álvaro García has also been appointed as the new Minister of Economy. President Boric emphasized that while these changes are significant, the government remains committed to fiscal responsibility and continuity in its economic policies. The cabinet reshuffle comes amid broader political challenges, including critiques of parliamentary list strategies and ongoing economic concerns.
