Embracing the Art of Staying In: Why ‘I Meant to Go Out’ is the Ultimate Excuse for Introverts
Carolina Tohá’s Future in the Cabinet: A Presidential Card for 2025?
Carolina Tohá, the Minister of the Interior, has been at the center of speculation regarding her continuation in the cabinet. The ruling party sees her as a potential presidential candidate for 2025, while the opposition questions her role in the handling of the Monsalve Case.
Ministerial Adjustment and Presidential Ambitions
President Gabriel Boric is set to make a ministerial adjustment by November 15, sparking rumors about Tohá’s future in the cabinet. When asked about her continuation, Tohá stated, “If there are people who want to be candidates, they cannot continue to be ministers if they want to go to Parliament. That’s the law.”
However, when asked directly if she would leave the government to run for elected office, Tohá reiterated her position: “If I had intended to go out, I would have gone out.” She emphasized that only the President can answer questions about a cabinet change, and that any speculation is “music, and bad music.”
Camila Vallejo on the Cabinet Change
Camila Vallejo, the spokesperson, also commented on the expected change in the cabinet. She stated that on November 15, government authorities who are potential candidates for the Senate must be identified and adjustments made accordingly. This is regardless of the evaluation of their performance, as they are in the government because they are doing their job.
Vallejo’s statement highlights the importance of the November 15 deadline for the cabinet adjustment. As the ruling party and opposition continue to speculate about Tohá’s future, one thing is clear: the Minister of the Interior remains a key figure in Chilean politics.
