It did not go down well in La Moneda or within Europe the decision of the parliamentarians of La Araucanía of that party –Felipe Kast, Andrés Molina and Sebastián Álvarez– to freeze relations with the government as a result of the death of a policeman in the area.
“We express our deep disappointment with the government’s security management”, The statement that the legislators sent over the weekend said, pointing precisely to the security management that depends on the Minister of the Interior, Victor Pérez (UDI). They also requested that a special minister be appointed for the region.
The annoyance in the ruling party with the signal from a sector of Evópoli lies in the fact that -they say in the bloc- the offensive was just ad portas of the vote of the constitutional accusation against the chief of staff, delivering confusing signals as the ruling party and also towards the center-left, where they have to go to get the votes to save the head of the Interior. This, beyond the fact that the same Evópoli legislators said that their votes were compromised to reject the constitutional accusation.
The annoyance – which would have escalated to President Sebastián Piñera himself – was noted this Monday by the Minister of the Segegob, Jaime Bellolio, who, in an interview with Radio Agricultura, stated: “It seems to me that it is at an inopportune moment, where I believe that the political consequences of what it means were not measured.”
The fact, in addition, generated internal differences in Evópoli and harsh recriminations, which were made known to the three parliamentarians.
The questions came mainly from the head of the bench of that party, Luciano Cruz-Coke, and the deputy and vice president Francisco Undurraga. In the community, several transmitted that the episode was a “mistake” and that it only left them badly as a party.
Just, Cruz-Coke and Undurraga They met this Monday with the Interior Minister to deliver a sign of support and stand out from the offensive of the other three legislators.
In fact, during the meeting, according to those present, the leaders let Pérez know that Evópoli’s institutional relations were maintained with the government. “It is important to note that relations with the government are maintained. There is no freeze on the part of the bench or directive “, said Cruz-Coke after the meeting, along with noting that “institutional relations are not frozen and do not pretend to be, less at this time when we should be supporting Minister Pérez.”
President Piñera was also consulted about Evópoli’s position and pointed out that there are several authorities who are in charge of La Araucanía and that “We are moving forward, we are going to defeat that violence and that terrorism.”
