Chile mayor slams 2027 budget cuts, end of PC program

Maipú mayor Tomás Vodanovic (Frente Amplio) publicly criticizes the government's 2027 budget cuts, including the termination of the 'Yo elijo mi PC' program, arguing they break a commitment to protect social benefits. The criticism from a ruling-coalition mayor signals internal political friction over fiscal consolidation. The impact is domestic political, with no direct market implications.
