President José Antonio Kast stated that his government is "ordering the house" by being rigorous with public spending due to the complex state of public finances. This comes as the government also pursues initiatives like Chile's bid for the 2030 Youth Olympic Games.
Key points
- Kast emphasized that current actions are necessary to ensure future pride for Chile.
- The President urged citizens to fulfill any outstanding obligations.
- The Minister of Finance, Jorge Quiroz, recently announced measures to collect from CAE debtors earning over $5 million.
- A recent poll showed 59% agreement with Kast's handling of national security in the first weeks.

Why it matters
The administration is balancing ambitious national projects, like the Olympic bid, with the immediate need to address a challenging fiscal situation through strict control over public expenditures.
