Cristián Monckeberg, a former minister from the National Renewal party, rebuked his colleague Carlos Larraín for demanding loyalty to the party leader. Monckeberg argued that Larraín’s demand had made life difficult for former President Piñera. He also questioned the warnings Larraín gave to officialist parliamentarians who might support the constitutional accusation against Fernando Rabat. Monckeberg warned that the situation could turn into a “train collision” of political forces. He said the tension inside the party would intensify during the upcoming vote. The statements were made amid growing debate over the potential accusation.
