The National Humanities Award Agustín Squella questioned the mayor of Las Condes, Joaquín Lavín, who has recently defined himself as a “social democrat” before the 2021 presidential elections.
“That Lavín has the possibility of being President of Chile, of course he does. But for me, working from intuition – because I am never sure about what may happen tomorrow, and imagine what may happen in more than one year in a presidential election- something tells me that a person like Joaquín Lavín will never be President of Chile. Yesterday for a conservative and today for an impostor“, he sentenced in The Cooperative Diary.
In that sense, also ruled out the projection of the mayor’s co-religionist, Pablo Longueira, that “he can become a new Patricio Aylwin” if he is elected President, noting that this statement “not only does it seem crazy to me, it’s really disrespectful with the first president who had our process of transition to democracy. It really seems to me an excess, and even embroiders the pathetic.
Regarding the race to La Moneda in general, the lawyer criticized “the amount of pre-presidential we have, who are like children in a classroom raising their finger to say ‘I am available to compete for the Presidency of the Republic’ “. In addition to Lavín, the mayor of Recoleta, Daniel Jadue (PC) and the PPD helmsman, Heraldo Muñoz, are some of the possible candidates.
“I understand that politicians have ambitions, there is nothing wrong with having them, but it is already too many for my taste the number of people that they are even using that expression, to my taste somewhat vulgar, somewhat ordinary. ‘I’m available’… Who can say regarding the office of President of the Republic that ‘he is available’?Squella lashed out.
“On the right they know they have the lost Plebiscite”
Finally, he questioned that some right-wing officials begin to lean towards approval in the constitutional Plebiscite that is approaching, pointing out that “there is something here of the old human tendency, something pathetic too, of get on the winning horse at the last minute“.
“I think that the political forces of the right – at least the most thoughtful, the most cunning – They have realized for a long time that they have the lost Plebiscite, and consequently, they want to lessen the effect of appearing to public opinion as losers, then on the night of October 25, everyone will be winners, “he predicted.
Alluding to the aspirations that Longueira expressed in his public reappearance, Squella pointed out that in the sector “above all they want to be in a good position for what will be the nominations to the constituent conventionBecause in truth, for any political sector -the right in this case- it is very difficult, very unpresentable to raise candidacies for the convention a month after they called profusely to vote Rejection “.
