The independent presidential candidate Sebastián Sichel presented a letter to the party presidents of Chile Vamos to formalize his participation in the primaries as part of the coalition.

The document signed by the former Minister of Social Development and Family, together with the independent constituent candidate for the 10th district, Sylvia Eyzaguirre, and the coordinator of Independientes for Sichel, Macarena De La Calle, was delivered this Thursday 40 days after registration closes for presidential candidacies in coalition primaries.

“An independent candidacy, like ours, requires the will of the leaders and the formal approval of the parties in Chile. We are going to compete in the primary. This would not only give a clear signal of opening towards the independent world – which is the majority – allowing the world of the center-right to expand, but also opens the possibility that Chile Vamos is a majority coalition, with the convergence of parties and independents ”, they argued in the letter.

For his part, Eyzaquirre said that “at a time when political parties lack the confidence of the public, It is not understood that they take so long to invite. Not only to a presidential candidate like Sebastián Sichel, but to all those who support Sebastián Sichel and who are supporting his candidacy ”.

“We request to respond to this request as soon as possible, understanding our desire to be part of these primaries and avoid taking different paths to be able to participate in the presidential election ”, the group declared.
