The text asserts that Rabat violated legal provisions that restrict such sentence reductions for those responsible for abusing children and adolescents, and failed to comply with regulations concerning the protection of children’s rights.

The opposition also objects to the reduction of sentences for three former State agents convicted of crimes against humanity during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973–1990), a decision that disregards international law.

Finally, a third charge accuses the justice minister of potential breaches of the principle of probity, alleging that he provided incomplete or inaccurate information during his appearances before Parliament and in his public statements.

The impeachment motion will be debated in the Chamber of Deputies, where the opposition must secure the necessary support for it to advance to the Senate.

If both chambers approve it, Rabat would be removed from his post and barred from holding public office for five years.

President Jose Antonio Kast has so far continued to support Rabat, despite widespread public outrage over the sentence reductions, criticized even from some figures within the ruling coalition.
