After the noisy departure of the Liberal Party from the Broad Front, several leaders of the community have stated that they could not share the position of their former coalition of not having electoral political pacts with the rest of the opposition facing the constitutional process.
Tensions were further aggravated in the context of a closer approach to the Communist Party, which could manifest itself in the future in support of the presidential candidacy of Daniel Jadue.
It was part of the reasoning that the deputy gave on this day after Alejandro Bernales, who insisted that it was a “complex decision to make, but it has been a long time, I would say more than six months at least, in which we had stated that we were in a complex situation“.
This, “because we believed and maintain that, in order to draft a new Constitution, we need an opposition unit that allows us to have the quotas in the Convention Constituent, and given that, we believe that it was necessary to promote a unitary list “, something to which the FA has continuously refused.
“However, within the conglomerate, many times what happens is just the opposite; rather it speaks to a niche sector, of a hard left“, remarked Bernales, although he specified that”We did not leave the Broad Front to reach the Constituent Unit: what we are doing today is raising and strengthening the Liberal Party. “
DEPUTY VIDAL NOTICES LACK OF REPRESENTATIVITY
Bernales’s reflection, the now independent deputy, shared Pablo Vidal, who also left the coalition this week at renounce Democratic Revolution with Natalia Castillo, pointing out in the program “Mesa Central” of Channel 13 that “I imagine that no one, neither in the Frente Amplio nor in the country, was surprised” by what the liberals decided.
“The Liberal Party repeatedly expressed its discomfort con what, I consider, is a narrowing of the original proposal of the Broad Front in political terms, “said the parliamentarian, assuring that since it was coined in 2017,” I think it has become increasingly clear that there is a kind of vacuum in the country. “
“I think there is a whole generation of young who have been in Chile, studying abroad, who have been building a vision regarding the future of the country, that they do not feel represented today neither by Chile Digno, nor by the Broad Front, nor by the Constituent Unit, but that evidently respond to a progressive world. I think that in that world, in that space, there is probably a conversation to have, “said the deputy.
LATORRE: “OBVIOUSLY HE HIT US”
Along the same lines, the senator Juan Ignacio Latorre (RD) stated that “obviously it has hit us, it weakens us … However, for the constitutional process, which in my opinion I think is the most important election we will have in April, as Frente Amplio we are making efforts to build the broadest, most unitary list, of the transformative forces that want to overcome neoliberalism“.
“Also a dialogue in democratizing terms of the constituent process for enable citizen participation during the constituent process... That is something that we are obviously talking about with the traditional center-left, the former concertation“added the senator.
It should be remembered that the Frente Amplio bench, which was installed in the hemicycle with 20 deputies in 2018, with the latest resignations was left with 15 legislators.
MARCELO DÍAZ DOES NOT CLOSE TO COLLABORATE WITH LIBERALES
From the coalition, the first official presidential candidate, the deputy Marcelo Diaz (Independent, UNIR), considered that the abandonment of the PL “is undoubtedly a sad, complex decision, but each one has to reflect on where they feel they have more space to build and advance their own projects”, and even, stated that “This does not mean a fraternity fracture or total absence of possibilities to work together”.
“I am convinced that they are part of a project to transform Chile, and from that perspective, I also hope that, just as they have legitimately decided to take a different path, we we have the maturity and strength to strengthen the Broad Front“, he specified.
