When the Frente Amplio had already registered its pact to hold primaries as an independent bloc for the municipal and governor elections of April 11, 2021, the PS, the PPD, the PR and the DC met again at the Socialist headquarters to reach an agreement.
The effort to generate an opposition pact still did not have the participation of the communists, until after 7:00 p.m.
Finally, the Progressive Convergence Pact, the Christian Democrats, the PRO, and Citizens sealed an agreement to define their candidacies at the polls.
“We continue with the talks and we have reached a proposal for the primaries as broad as possible within the opposition,” said PS helmsman Álvaro Elizalde.
Despite the fact that the deadline for registering agreements had been set in an Electoral Service instructions at 5:00 p.m., due to the pandemic, The communities pointed out that the law clearly establishes that it expires only at midnight.
“The legal deadline is until 12 at night. Obviously an exception has been made because due to the curfew and the situation of the officials, an effort will be made to close them earlier, something has been discussed with the president of the Electoral Service, but the deadlines are established by law, ”Elizalde said.
According to the Servel schedule, the primaries would be held on November 29.
When the failure of the negotiations with the FA materialized, the senator of the Christian Democracy Ximena Rincón addressed the issue from Congress. “I always bet on unity and I believe that the call is to build it and to build it without conditions and what was done here was to condition and the question is if it was always planned?”, Said the Falangist legislator. Rincón said he did not understand that “the condition to compete was that the Christian Democracy be omitted, for example in the Fourth Region.”
“I think that the cuisine that has always been criticized by some sectors in the end the ones that practice it are others and are the same ones who have criticized it,” he said.
Regarding an alleged “armor” requested by the CP in the negotiation, the communist helmsman, Guillermo Teillier, pointed out that his party is “almost a wooden ship.”
“I’m not about to blame anyone, blame anyone, I think that if we start with that we could only hinder the conversations that we have to keep going forward,” he said.
The PC is evaluating joining the opposition pact that incorporated the former Concertación parties, Ciudadanos and PRO, its partners in the Unity for Change bloc. The same occurs with the FRVS, whose leaders continue to analyze whether to join this pact. They have until the day is out to decide.
