José Antonio Kast Starts His First Official European Tour with Meetings with Pope Leo XIV, Giorgia Meloni and Spain's Conservative Leaders

The trip includes meetings with Santiago Abascal and Isabel Díaz Ayuso as opposition deputies prepare an impeachment over prison-sentence decrees.

  • On Wednesday, President Antonio Kast visits the Vatican to meet Pope Leo XIV, continuing a European tour that began on November 1 amid political tension at home.
  • Opposition deputies are preparing to impeach Justice Minister Fernando Rabat over decrees that reduced prison sentences for those convicted of sexual crimes against minors.
  • Removing the minister requires a majority in the 155-seat Chamber and 26 of 50 senators, making the populist Party of the People and its 14 deputies crucial.
  • During the trip, Kast also plans to meet Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and attend the 30th Ibero-American Summit in Madrid on November 4 and 5.
  • Kast, who won the 2025 election with more than 58 per cent of the vote, faces potential legislative gridlock on mining and tax bills if he loses his minister.
