For his part, Deputy Miguel Crispi affirmed that the definition by Boric is “very important news and positive ”since he trusts his leadership and believes that he has“ the strength ”to help and lead this process as Broad Front.
Boric has already launched his candidacy. He did it on Thursday, in Punta Arenas, together with supporters and social leaders. Now he must collect 24 thousand signatures to present it officially.
In the instance, Boric focused his words on unity and greeted other letters from the opposition, especially communist mayor Daniel Jadue and former socialist spokesperson Paula Narváez. However, he was critical of Pamela Jiles (PH), his peer in the House.

“It does not seem the right thing to do from the point of view of the institutionality of the company. It is as if the shareholders wanted to participate in 50% of the management of a union, ”Sutil commented on Radio Universo.
