translated from Spanish: Minister Moreno “threw in the towel” in Social development

Nothing has been as thought, everything has been much more complicated, adverse, difficult and with results very far to which they planned. Not for anything who know the Minister of Social development, Alfredo Moreno, ensured that the last time he has seen “irritable”, and it is not for less, its image suffered a blow with the political crisis generated by the murder of Camilo Catrillanca, which Despite the intervening months, not has been able to recover, to the point that its own pro-Government parliamentary and ministerial collaborators settled conviction that Moreno had already “pulled the towel”.
Social development is one of the broadest portfolios in terms of number of tasks and, without a doubt, one of the most complex, whereas the express mandate last year gave President Sebastián Piñera: La Araucanía, middle class national agreement Protected, national agreement for children and commitment to country. But, despite the heavy deployment of communications that allow these tasks, which in the heart of La Moneda acknowledged that they are for “Polish Chief”, Cadem survey showed that the level of knowledge of Moreno does not exceed 40%. What’s more, since it came to the Cabinet, in March of 2018, fell 47 percent to lean 37% that has today, which adds that the mapuche conflict worse governmental management evaluated (21%).
Near Moreno explained that, while these factors have influenced, the true turning point in it was in their own aspirations.
The second week of February survey Cadem consulted by the knowledge and approval of various political figures at the national level and, in a bad surprise for the Minister of Social development, the level of support did not reach you or to enter the list. It was from there, they added in the Government, which showed a “visible emotional downturn”.
In Chile we agree on the diagnosis: “last year it showed him that he wanted to be a candidate, now not”.

The Executive told that, even though Moreno served as spokesman during the summer period, did not pass unnoticed that when it did not have to perform this task he preferred to stay in his office, marking a stark contrast to the beginning of his period at the head of development Social. Showed, they added, a considerable lack of interest by means of communication, to the point that called into question at the last minute two interviews while they waited on the phone, something very rare in its way of working.
“The downturn” of the former business leader, to the point that already asks you your little interest to appear has been indifferent to anyone in the Government proposing solutions or as part of a team in contention for the natural disasters that occurred between February and March, as It happened with the effects of the Altiplanic winter or fires in the South.
The location of Moreno is not recent. Everyone agrees that creeps from mid-February and that, therefore, the own President Piñera personally asked his Minister of Social development focus more on the social challenge to the business in the Region of Araucania, focused more on communities poor and appear next to them. Diagnosis of Palace over the region establishes that the biggest flaw is in the social and, for this reason, the presidential request no less for Moreno, an alert was because graficaria described months ago already from the ruling party and parliamentarians in the area: “long ad, little execution”.
It must not have been an easy situation. The former Chairman of the Penta group is not a man accustomed to calls for attention, because, as they stressed their close – one of its characteristics is its proactivity and enthusiasm that puts the challenges, two traits that, in La Moneda, haven’t seen you the last time . In the Ministry itself recognized that Pinera would have not challenged Moreno if this indeed had “taken the bull by the horns” the agenda and priorities of the Mindes.
The criticisms of its management do not pass only by La Araucanía. In the Government claimed that the Secretary of State “not soak it” with the class average protected and country progress, programs because it would not be convinced the process that seeks to do with these initiatives and do not feel comfortable with the outputs to ground involving : “Isn’t theirs”.
The dismay of Moreno has pierced the walls of La Moneda. Sources of business acknowledged that there is a decline in momentum showing the former leader of the CPC before and explained it was because, being a man accustomed to cope with numbers, to see that your project could haughtily, made the decision to go back to take care of your image.
The director of the school of advertising in the UDP, Cristián Leporati, explained that the “slump” living Minister Moreno is “it is rather the Union Club leadership, to talk with entrepreneurs, pairs, but not with anyone other than him in terms of culture “les, socio-economic”.
For political analyst Axel Callís, problems of leadership and recognition Moreno suffering through the fact that “is an invention of Casa Piedra and the elite, therefore, is not a leader who comes from the village or arising from citizenship. For example, Joaqín Lavín has 25 years on the first line and just now is being given the light… from personality. Moreno doesn’t have any charisma or arrival to the people, therefore, numbers that say knowledge are quite overrated.”
Among those who know well the ex helmsman of the CPC, stressed that the Plan Araucania is a theme adopted as a personal commitment and that, therefore, a failure would be for him to leave the Ministry without, at least, a protocol or something to display Twenty-one visits to that region so reflect it. In any case, that has not diminished one iota his nostalgia for his days in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the first administration piñerista.
Wrong replacement
Since February that the Ministry of Social development is without head of communications, after the departure of Luisa Navea. Who today takes care of that role, is the own head of Cabinet of the Minister, Juan Pablo Longueira Brickmann, while takes the form of a new recruitment, which legal deadlines, should occur at the beginning of May.
The inexperienced son Longueira – who in the coin called “the child of the coffee” – has been commentary in the Palace halls, for ideas that have not been well received, as well as by the discomfort that has generated in the heads of communications of others ministries, who are forced to share with the Chief of staff in the common chat to coordinate work with the director and Deputy Director of the Secom.
Prior to Holy week, without any coordination, Longueira led to Minister to the Central market to an activity that not convened more than two television cameras for its coverage, a situation that bothered enough to Moreno. Chief of staff ever believed that, later and scheduled time, the Seremi of metropolitan health, Rosa Oyarce, had summoned the press to the same site and for a “rather more striking” guideline, and according to the subjects related to the long weekend.
It was not his only error. In one of his last visits to Temuco considered meeting with indigenous communities of the sector Mahuidache and Trapilhue who had problems with electrical lines of CGE. On occasion, according to sources who participated in that visit, they reported the change to the indigenous law through consultation was the main topic on the table, a situation in which Moreno didn’t take it well, because he suffered a “grip” by the community members present. Not only don’t they let him speak when he wanted to, but it also claims tone rose “more than welcome”. Although never, so they claimed from the Ministry, Moreno felt intimidated, it is known that you accused after the activity that this “was very limit”.
Controversial son-in-law
Its business origin has left Moreno in a true political orphan, which deepened when it appointed the son of Longueira as his Chief of staff. Little consideration with the political balances in the bosom of Chile we came rigged with multiple claims from national renewal, which have always considered that this portfolio is closer to this community than to unionism.
Does not help him at all to improve their political networks, inside and outside the Government, Deputy Minister of social services, Sebastián Villarreal. Militant Evopoli is today considered the real strongman of Social development, who makes and breaks, mainly by the political armor that gives it its status as son-in-law of the powerful and influential head of the advisers of the second floor of the Palace, Cristian Larroulet.
Not a few in La Moneda accuse Villarreal have a hard and insensitive, treatment reason that the former Executive Director of the program choose to live healthy, Alejandra Domper, would have exposed as an argument to leave his post a few months ago.
For political analyst Tomás Duval, Minister Moreno has not been able to take another agenda of the Ministry: “it seems to Me that the political times bothered him and does not resolve, or purchase unnecessary conflicts with parties of Chile are going”.
