Chile: Kast’s controversial cabinet
Cape Times
|January 22, 2026
CHILP’S right-wing president-elect Jose Antonio Kast this week named two ex-lawyers of former dictator Augusto Pinochet to lead the ministries of defense and human rights when he takes office in March.
-
Kast will be sworn in on March 11 as the first far-right head of state in Chile since the exit of Pinochet, whose brutal regime left deep scars on the South American nation.
Pinochet led a dictatorship from 1973 to 1990 that left more than 3 200 dead or missing, and tortured or imprisoned tens of thousands more.
Kast, a Pinochet admirer who won a landslide election victory last December, announced “a great team for difficult times,’ including Fernando Barros, 68, as his defence minister and Fernando Rabat, 53, as minister of justice and human rights.
