Significance
The major reshuffle follows a crisis within the government that reflected internal wranglings over how decisions are made. Valer’s appointment as prime minister has been met with widespread criticism from across the political spectrum. The new cabinet represents a shift to the right, especially on matters of moral conviction.
Impacts
The new cabinet will deepen splits between Castillo and the more moderate left.
On economic issues, the cabinet is likely to pursue a business-friendly path.
Issues of corruption in government will come under close scrutiny, as will ministerial competence.
