Due to “intolerance and also the fear of possible attacks” against her and her family, Augusto Pinochet’s youngest daughter lowered her independent candidacy for councilor for the Vitacura commune.
Raul Meza, a lawyer who defends soldiers imprisoned for human rights violations in the Puta Peuco prison and leader of the “Fuerza Nacional” movement, and a possible future candidate for mayor for the same commune as an independent, confirmed that Pinochet Hiriart declined to accompany him out of fear of the “Intolerance” and the violence that she and her family may suffer during the campaign.
“We deeply regret the decision made by Jacqueline Pinochet Hiriart to lower her candidacy as an independent councilor for Vitacura, fundamentally due to the intolerance and extreme violence exercised by some sectors,” lawyer Raúl Meza confirmed to BioBioChile, when consulted.
“They do not accept that a daughter of a former President of the Republic, Augusto Pinochet Ugarte, can legitimately exercise the right to run for a position of public representation,” added the same lawyer, who maintained that he was authorized by the family to issue a statement on the withdrawal of Pinochet Hiriart.
Meza stressed that “thinking about protecting her personal interests and in some way avoiding attacks on her family, she gives up the idea of running as a candidate.”
Along with the nomination of Meza and the failed attempt by Jacqueline Pinochet, it was also made official that the actress Catalina Pulido also joined the same work to gather signatures to compete for a council.
Meza persists
The lawyer Meza maintained that, despite the electoral decline of the former dictator’s daughter, he will continue as a candidate for mayor of Vitacura.
“Despite the significant drop that the candidacy for councilor of Jaqueline pinochet“We are going to move forward with the independent mayoral candidacy for Vitacura because we do not want to hand over this commune to the left,” he told BBCL.
“Not least a candidate from Evopoli, Camila Merino, who voted to approve a new Constitution, denying the legacy and the great work of the military government, which was embodied in the 1980 Constitution, especially considering that in Vitacura the rejection obtained almost 70 % in the Constituent Plebiscite ”, said Meza.
“For social service”
Catalina Pulido commented on a YouTube program, which he conducts with the Pinochet fan, Patricia maldonado, that his application in Vitacura is based on his love for “social service.”
“I live in Vitacura, I have seen the shortcomings and I am concerned, not only about security, but also because it is a commune with a lot of older adults,” he emphasized.
“We have a project that I have always liked, as a citizen that I am. Now I was given this opportunity, because as a constituent I am not going to go (…) I like social service. There are people who live at home where contributions are extremely expensive, they cannot pay them. They are living a tremendous drama. It is necessary to strengthen fairs, SMEs, there are many needs and I am super excited “, she explained.
Despite this statement, during the night of this Wednesday there were also doubts about the continuity as a candidate of Catalina Pulido and the departure of the star candidate could drag more people, even everyone, although they work on urgent design a quick and effective containment that They need to keep the boat floating, struggling, but afloat. It is the mission that Meza has.
