Biography

Crispi was born in France and later moved to Chile, where he studied sociology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. He served as president of the student center for his career department in 2009. He earned his degree with a thesis on municipal educational management and completed a master’s degree in public policy at the University of Chile. [3] [4] [5]

Political career

Initially a member of the Socialist Party, Crispi left the party in 2012 and co-founded Democratic Revolution (RD), a then-political movement that later became a party member of the coalition, Broad Front. He served as the first national coordinator of RD and was active in its early organizational development.

Crispi was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the 2017 general election, representing District 12, which includes the communes of La Florida, Puente Alto, Pirque, and others. During his term (LV period, 2018–2022), he served on standing committees including Health; Human Rights; and Science, Technology, and Innovation. His legislative focus included social welfare issues, public health, and intra-coalition coordination among Broad Front parties.

In February 2022, Crispi was appointed Undersecretary of Regional and Administrative Development (Subdere) in the Boric administration. In September 2022, he was promoted to Chief of Staff in the presidential advisory team (commonly referred to as the "Second Floor" of La Moneda Palace), where he remained until March 2025.

Crispi’s tenure in the executive branch was marked by public scrutiny related to the “Convenios Case”, a political controversy concerning state funding of nonprofit organizations linked to party members. He was the subject of parliamentary inquiries and judicial investigations, particularly for alleged failure to report irregularities.

In February 2025, the Public Prosecutor’s Office closed its investigation into his role for lack of evidence. However, in April 2025, authorities approved the legal interception of his phone as part of a separate inquiry involving the ProCultura Foundation, leading to tensions between the executive and the judiciary.

Crispi resigned from his position in March 2025 and has since maintained a low public profile. As of mid-2025, he has not announced intentions to run for elected office or return to a formal political role.
