José Antonio Kast Starts His First Official European Tour with Meetings with Pope Leo XIV, Giorgia Meloni and Spain's Conservative Leaders
Kast is meeting Spanish right-wing leaders and attending the Ibero-American Summit as opponents prepare an impeachment vote against his justice minister.
- On November 1, President José Antonio Kast began an official tour of Spain, Italy, and the Vatican, prioritizing meetings with Vox leader Santiago Abascal and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
- The tour coincides with opposition lawmakers preparing to impeach Justice Minister Fernando Rabat over decrees that reduced prison sentences for sexual crimes against minors.
- Removing the minister requires a majority in the 155-seat Chamber of Deputies and 26 of 50 Senate votes, making the 14 deputies from the Party of the People pivotal to the outcome.
- While the PDG caucus remains split on the issue, Kast has maintained support for the minister, and Rabat denies any wrongdoing.
- After the summit in Madrid on November 4–5, the administration faces potential legislative fallout, as losing a minister could hinder the President's ability to pass critical mining and tax bills.
