Chilean Senator Núñez Accuses Finance Minister of Provoking Social Unrest Over Budget

Senator Daniel Núñez (PC) publicly criticized Finance Minister Jorge Quiroz, alleging the government's budget lacks measures to address unemployment and rising living costs, and suggesting the minister's approach could provoke a social outburst. This marks an escalation in political tension within Chile's ruling coalition, as the Communist Party (PC) breaks ranks with the government's economic strategy. The claim is based on the senator's statement, not on independent verification of the budget's contents.
