A group of mayors met this Tuesday in La Moneda with the minister of the General Secretariat of the Presidency (Segpres), Cristián Monckeberg, to coordinate measures to carry out a safe Plebiscite, an opportunity in which free public transportation was requested for voting day.
After the appointment, the mayor of Independencia, Gonzalo Durán, explained that “we have stated that just as there are some who will not be able to vote due to this lack of foresight, let us take the necessary protection and guarantee that everyone can vote because they do not have an economic difficulty to go to the voting precincts ”.
“The country faces a health crisis, but it also faces a social crisis, this means that a family that has several members who have to go to vote it could mean a very important economic effort ”, Durán raised.
Along these lines, he stated that “we are not going to rest as mayors until free transportation is guaranteed on the day of the Plebiscite, we believe that this is the best guarantee of broad citizen participation in this process, of course we will actively work so that additionally, they have all the sanitary guarantees so that the process is safe ”.
Thus, the meeting discussed the best mechanisms to guarantee a safe day for those who attend to vote, and that it is widely participatory.
