Deputy Gonzalo Winter, of Social Convergence (CS), accused this Tuesday Chile Let’s go of using the October elections as a game of Monopoly, When analyzing the surprising disorder within the opposition bloc in the competition for the municipality of Santiago, which has the current communal leader of the Communist Party, Irací Hassler, running alone
Sebastian Sichel He planned to announce his candidacy as an independent last Sunday to gain support from the right-wing conglomerate. However, he had to back down after Renovación Nacional (RN) defined his support for Mario Desbordeswho assured earlier that he had the support of the entire coalition.
In the hours that followed, however, the UDI and Evópoli clarified that no official definition had yet been adopted in this regard and that this was a developing issue.
«If Sichel is sad because they didn’t invite him to I don’t know where, if Desbordes wants to come or if they want to go to La Florida or La Cisterna, or if (Felipe) Alessandri wants Lo Barnechea or wants Santiago… Monopoly chips are being distributed , and what I want them to talk about is my commune,» said Winter, a resident of the capital, in The First Coffee of Cooperative.
The deputy theorized that «the way in which Hassler’s administration has been insulted, «in which from the beginning thousands of people who do not live in the commune of Santiago, six months after taking office, began to blame him for all the country problems, means that today no one on the right is truly available or there is a real dispute that has Santiago at the center.»
«They», according to the Frente Amplista, «They have already established that every crime that occurs within the commune of Santiago is the fault of the mayor»which «makes it very difficult for the right to find a candidate for mayor, and that is why they have this disorder that, in the end, does not talk about Santiago.»
«I’m not saying that the commune of Santiago is jauja; is experiencing a problem related to overpopulation, very untimely immigration and the flight of capital to other neighborhoods, but The deterioration of the commune has been stopped by direct actions of this municipal management«he assured.
LOWER HOMICIDES
In Cooperative, Winter also commented on the report of completed homicides for 2023, published yesterday by the authorities; document that, among other things, highlighted the 6% drop in the rate of these crimes compared to 2022.
Although he said «never celebrate any homicide figures»the CS parliamentarian called on «the normalization of public debate since those who assigned the Government responsibility for all crimes in Chile now have an attitude accordingly.»
The legislator explained that «during the entire year 2022, where public policies designed in the previous Government were executed, with budgets designed in the previous Government, «Every crime was attributed by the opposition directly to negligence on the part of the Government of President Boric.»
«However, today we have a slight reduction in the number of homicides and, then, the opposition, in good time, says: ‘No, no, no; this is not about the Government of the day, but let’s go to the deep issue of crime’ (…) Every time the Government has an achievement, it turns out that the impact of the Government’s policies in this matter is no longer discussed,» he reproached.
