In a political scenario marked by ups and downs and challenges, the Minister of Housing, Carlos Montes, emerges as a prominent and committed figure in the search for solutions to the housing crisis that affects thousands of Chilean citizens. His work in this area has been supported not only by his party, but also by leading members of the governing coalition and other political sectors.
The recent context of the resignation of the former Minister of Social Development, Giorgio Jackson, has generated a series of movements and political statements from the Socialist Party (PS). The second vice president of the Chamber of Deputies and Deputies, Daniella Cicardini, has urged the right to demonstrate her real commitment to the country and to the reforms proposed by the government of Gabriel Boric. Cicardini pointed out that “today the ball is on the side of the opposition and the right, and they must show if they will rise to the situation or continue with the blackmail.”
This call to action comes after the right wing conditioned the departure of former minister Jackson on progress in crucial areas such as pension reform. A tactic that exposed the policy of obstruction and the hidden agendas that some sectors seemed to be pursuing. The socialist deputy emphasized that Jackson’s resignation must mark a turning point in the political dynamic, forcing the opposition to show if his position is genuine or if they were simply using his departure as an excuse to maintain their particular interests. .
Deputy Daniel Manouchehri, head of the Bancada PS, joined the chorus of support for the government and Minister Montes. He highlighted that Minister Montes has been energetically addressing the serious housing crisis that afflicts the Chilean population. At the same time, Manouchehri warned that the opposition should refrain from petty politicking and focus on engaging constructively with government efforts. Manouchehri pointed out: “Minister Montes is working to respond to the tremendous housing crisis that affects thousands of Chileans and he is doing a tremendous job. If the opposition is not going to collaborate, let it not get in the way with its petty politicking. Montes has vigorously pursued wrongdoing, living up to his spotless history. Targeting Montes is an expression of political misery.”
The figure of Minister Carlos Montes emerges as a solid pillar in the midst of a very complex political scenario. His focus on resolving the housing crisis and his commitment to social justice have won support not only from his party, but also from leading voices in the ruling coalition.
