José Antonio Kast Starts His First Official European Tour with Meetings with Pope Leo XIV, Giorgia Meloni and Spain's Conservative Leaders
Opposition deputies plan to file impeachment charges over decrees that cut prison sentences for sexual crimes against minors.
- On November 1, President José Antonio Kast departed Chile for a European tour of Spain, Italy, and the Vatican, coinciding with a domestic push to impeach Justice Minister Fernando Rabat.
- Opposition lawmakers plan to file for Rabat's removal this week, citing decrees that reduced prison terms for sexual crimes against minors; Rabat denies wrongdoing, and Kast has maintained his support.
- Removal requires a majority in the 155-seat Chamber of Deputies and 26 of 50 Senate votes. The Party of the People , holding about 14 deputies, holds pivotal votes and remains divided.
- Kast attended the Ibero-American Summit in Madrid on November 4 and 5 following meetings with Vox leader Santiago Abascal and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, plus an audience with Pope Leo XIV.
- The President returns to Chile on Friday, November 6, facing a narrow window to manage the cabinet crisis, which may complicate his ability to pass critical mining, tax, and security bills.
