What are the immediate consequences of the Chilean Constitutional Court's decision to remove Senator Isabel Allende from her position?

The Chilean Constitutional Court (TC) removed Senator Isabel Allende from her position due to a conflict of interest involving the sale of her father's house to the government. This follows the government's failed attempt to purchase the house to create a museum, and the subsequent dismissal of several government officials. The TC ruled that Allende violated the Constitution by engaging in a contract with the state.
