The argument
The Tribunal as Opposition
Mosciatti asserts that the Tribunal Constitucional is now the primary obstacle to the Kast government, effectively acting as a political third chamber that neutralizes the administration's agenda.
Judicial Composition
The tribunal consists of 10 judges, seven of whom are left or center-left, a fact Mosciatti calls 'grotesque' given their lack of constitutional expertise compared to the medical analogy he uses.
Government Weakness
The government faces a crisis of governability due to a lack of coalition, economic stagnation at 1.5% growth, and security failures like the 'tour delictual' in San Bernardo where police failed to respond.
Internal Party Friction
The right-wing coalition is fracturing over the accusation against ex-minister Nicolás Grau, with the Republican Party criticizing the lack of leadership from Kast and the vote splitting 77 to 68.
Judicial Scandal
The 'Audio Facto' scandal involving Luis Hermosilla and judges exchanging messages for favors continues to erode judicial credibility, with one judge allegedly receiving 410 million pesos to unblock a project.
