SANTIAGO (Reuters) -Chile's President Gabriel Boric announced a major overhaul of his cabinet Tuesday after voters overwhelmingly rejected a new constitution that was key to his ambitious agenda.

Just six months into his presidency, Boric announced replacements for his ministers of mining, energy and the interior. He also replaced the minister secretary-general, who oversees the president's legislative agenda.
