The mayor of Recoleta, Daniel Jadue, talked to the National State about different topics regarding his chances of being elected President in the next elections, the political project of the Communist Party, the lists of candidates for the Constitutional Convention and the latest complaint made by a NGO that classified him as “anti-Semitic”.
Regarding the results in the surveys, the communal chief attributes it to the work carried out in his commune with different “popular” initiatives such as pharmacies, opticians, real estate, among others, which in his opinion are efforts that put the human being at the center, which, in his opinion, is the distinctive feature of communist mayors, recalling the invitation of the mayor of Diego de Almagro, Isaías Zavala to inaugurate a swimming pool in Inca de Oro, “a small town with 50 children in the middle of the desert”, he pointed out, adding that “only a communist mayor would have built a swimming pool in the middle of the desert to give dignity to those children (…) that is the Chile we dream of.”
Before consulting the statements of his party that he maintains as a “fundamental goal on the horizon is the construction of a socialist society,” Jadue indicated that “it is a medium and long-term program. Today we are in a thesis in which more than talking about a project, we are talking about a one-way path where you have to move “.
“When I come out as a candidate in the polls, I don’t come out as a candidate for the party that has not even proclaimed me. I have never said that I want to be a candidate, but they have begun to ask me, so here is the citizenry that has said that ‘we want have a project like this. ”If you ask me if Recoleta is socialism, I say no, but there is a much fairer society than in the rest of Chile, in fact, for example, medicines are not defined by the market, glasses or I rent them or access to knowledge either, “he added.
In that sense, he added that “if we were to have the possibility of governing, it would be a coalition government with the green regionalists, part of the Broad Front. With the aim of four years there is no socialist society. One thing is long-term projects. The term that the parties have and the other are the four-year projects to dispute the best right to guide society. “
Before consulting the rejection of a single list of candidates for the Constitutional Convention, Jadue indicated that with his coalition made up of Chile Digno, Mesa de Unidad Social, Frente Regionalista Verde and part of Frente Amplio, “we are converging on a constitutional commitment that truly it is anti-neoliberal. “
In the same way, he indicated that “there is a social democracy that governed with a neoliberal program for 20 years, but the truth is that today neither of them reaches nor we, the only ones who reach are the mobilized citizenship, the people. Of all the political parties do not even reach 10% of the inhabitants of Chile and we hope that more than 50% will vote. “
#ENational | Regarding the Concertación governments, Jadue pointed out that “they promised to review all the privatizations made in the last three months of the dictatorship and ended up privatizing everything.”

“We have our coalition, we have said that we are available for primaries with those who want to transform Chile and overcome neoliberalism. The fundamental thing here is not the political parties, the fundamental thing is the citizenship who have put things on the table that today, nor even the parties that have governed for 20 years put in their documents, “said the communal chief of Recoleta.
Along the same lines, he criticized the Chilean document 21 that establishes the bases for a new constitution, indicating that “they do not speak of the right to water, they do not speak of the nationalization of natural resources.
Regarding this coalition, the mayor pointed out that “I don’t know if they are reliable, there are some who are and others who are not. It is difficult for me to trust someone who says that the program was not read after signing it and going to a government list. It is hard to trust those who say that they go to a primary, but that if one of us won, they would not vote for a communist. “
When asked if he regretted having been part of the New Majority, the mayor points out that “by no means” and that the second government of former President Bachelet “tried to promote anti-neoliberal transformations and that he obtained a tough battle from the right wing. and a boycott of his own coalition “, as a constituent process, which in his opinion, had it continued” perhaps we would not have had an October 18. “
Meanwhile, he also had words for the Wiesenthal center that denounced him as one of the 10 greatest anti-Semites of 2020, noting that he took it as “a historical turn” of said center, which he “respected a lot” for its fight against Nazism and that now “he occupies that place to defend the violations of Human Rights in Israel against the Palestinian population.”
“I am a Semitic, anyone who knows where the concept comes from knows that the Arabs are all Semites, I am not anti-Semitic, if I am anti-Zionist and I have every right to criticize all the policies of extermination of the State of Israel on the Palestinian people, such as The opposition does it in that country, as do the Jewish organizations in the world that are anti-Zionists. “
