The decision of the Broad Front, who put three conditions to hold opposition primaries, to seek mayors and regional governors, was commented on by the presidents of three of the parties that were part of the New Majority.
In this regard, the president of the Radical Party, Carlos Maldonado, invited “the FA to go to the Electoral Service to agree on primaries, without conditions that seem like excuses to avoid them. That of the ethical and programmatic minimums is obvious. If not, no we would be talking about the possibility of competing together. “
“As PR we do not carry any objectionable candidacy, in any sense, and without a doubt we want to promote the changes that the citizenship is demanding. So, enough of words, we are going to the Electoral Service to register the primaries,” he emphasized.
In the Christian Democrats they also reacted. Its president, Fuad Chahin, said that “regarding the programmatic minimums, months ago we told the FA that we were available to agree on that, because I believe that it will not be difficult to agree on programmatic minimums with respect to regional and local governments.”
“It seems surprising to me that after we raised the issue of the primaries in writing in February, they only now respond in this way. And regarding the candidacies, we are available so that all our mayors go to primaries, we have no problem that we have primaries in the 345 communes, “he added.
The latter should happen, in Chahin’s opinion, that this should happen “without vetoes. It does not seem to me that it is intended to exclude people who may be candidates as secretaries. I tell the Broad Front to compete everywhere, we are available also to compete, but without vetoes, let the citizens decide. “
“That is the only condition that we place, that the citizens decide, if they are available, we compete. It seems to me that the Broad Front has to stop giving bad explanations and say if it is really available to have primary elections or not”, stressed.
Finally, the president of the Socialist Party, Álvaro Elizalde said that “there is no need to fear democratic participation and the prominence of citizens in defining leaderships. That is why we will insist on primaries to resolve all candidacies for regional governors, mayors and mayors of the progressive world. “
“No actor can be subtracted from this effort, especially when it allows to generate unity to promote the transformations that Chileans demand,” he concluded.
