Chile's President and his closest advisors are not legally required to disclose meetings with lobbyists, creating a significant transparency gap. A request for audience logs from President Kast and his key advisors was denied, with the explanation that no such records are kept. This exemption stems from a loophole in the Lobbying Law, which excludes presidential authorities and advisors from being subject to lobby registration requirements. The legal protection afforded to the presidency has been a point of contention between state bodies, and has been consistently defended by both the current and previous administrations. The issue reached the Supreme Court in 2024 regarding former President Boric’s meetings, with the court ultimately siding with the executive branch and upholding the right to confidentiality. This ruling allows for fully reserved schedules and raises concerns about potential undue influence.
