Natalia Duco has returned to Chile's Government Palace only 24 days after leaving the Sports Ministry amid controversy.

She now serves as a strategic adviser on sports to the team led by Alejandro. Her return places her once again in the Second Floor of La Moneda, which the report describes as a refuge for former government officials.

The appointment has drawn criticism, with opponents calling it a “consolation prize.” The article's headline links the criticism to what it describes as Duco's failure as minister.
