With or without José Antonio Kast, this is one of the dilemmas that Chile must solve. We are facing the busy electoral agenda that comes in 2021. Although in Renovación Nacional and Evópoli they are strictly opposed to reaching an electoral alliance with the leader of the Republican Party, from the new UDI board of directors they redouble the calls to close an agreement.

One of those who carries the flag to achieve a pact is the head of the bench of deputies of the UDI and future general secretary of the community, María José Hoffmann, under the argument that “the only way of success is unity.”

“Electoral efficiency forces us to make all our unitary efforts until it hurts (…) Unity until it hurts implies all efforts. He who does not understand that unity is until it hurts will lose the confidence of the voters, “said the parliamentarian to Third.

His sayings fully coincide with what the new UDI helmsman, Javier Macaya, has expressed, who in a recent interview with The counter he was consulted regarding the formula for a pact with the far-right leader.

“We are going to work hard to tend to have a position as broad as possible, of all those who are to the right of the left,” said Macaya at that time to this medium.

Pulling out the calculator regarding the next round of elections, Hoffmann pointed out that “there are several studies that speak or establish that with divided lists we could lose a significant number of constituents. That awareness is quite installed in our sector and in our party ”.

In fact, a recent study prepared by the deputy and political scientist Tomás Fuentes (RN), entitled “Electoral effect of the fragmentation of the vote of the center-right in the constituent election”, 12 places would be lost if Chile Vamos is separated from JA Kast in the election of constituents.

“Generosity also from the Republican Party”

But Hoffmann also points out that the concessions must be side and side. For this reason, the parliamentarian also asked Kast’s party for an effort. “The generosity in this has to be absolute and also on the part of the Republican Party,” he said.

“The only possible path is unity and this cannot be only an electoral pact, but also implies respect and validation for each of the projects. For that it is necessary that we all make efforts to improve the tones and forms of coexistence “, he said.

Regarding the scope of this understanding, the parliamentarian assured that “although it is most likely that this unit is only for the constituent, we cannot give up expanding it, perhaps, to other electoral pacts that are coming,” she said, referring to the parliamentarians and presidential.
