translated from Spanish: Van Rysselberghe warned: “If the UDI is faring well in the city, we will have a President of the UDI”

Pinera left more than two years. However the President of the UDI, Jacqueline Van Rysselberghe, is already thinking about upcoming elections.
Cautiously, the senator told El Mercurio that “so there is a second Government in our industry, you have to go to this Government. If this Government goes well, we will have a candidate of Chile are going. And if the UDI is faring well in the city, we will have a President of the UDI. But don’t have to move,”said.
And it is that JVR referred to a possible next Government right once one of his letters, Joaquín Lavín, received criticism from the presidential candidates of RN, Andrés Allamand and Manuel José Ossandón.
“Actions of Lavin have the advantage that they manage to connect and tune with tangible concerns of people, but lack of a narrative,” said Allaman to La Tercera. While Ossandón, ahead of the presidential, said an example of populism and assured that the Mayor of Las Condes in the elections will face.
But for Van Rysselberghe, Joaquín Lavín is the best-positioned of the sector, at least according to what the polls say. And ensure that this is also the position of the UDI. The trade helmsman said that “these criticisms arise from the anguish of not mark in the polls. In politics they fall under its own weight and if someone does not mark in the polls, it is difficult to be presidential candidate.”
The sayings of Ossandón, who pointed out that “Chile is entering a populist cycle that began with former President Michelle Bachelet”, and, at the same time, that there are “two forms of populism.” Irresponsible populism and responsible populism. Van Rysselberghe explains that populism, by definition, “never is responsible.”
“I don’t like that (Ossandón) slogan. I think that there has to be social integration, and to that Lavin, is facing a popular need for people to feel that they are also worth in society”, said the UDI Senator.
Relationship UDI – DC
The votes of the DC were key and have given the green light to the handling of government projects. The latter case was the approval to the idea of legislating the tax reform that drives the piñerista administration. For this reason, the Jacqueline points to the relationship between the ruling party and the phalange.
To JVR, that relationship “has to occur in the way that has been given”. “Here there was only the generosity of the DC towards the Government, but it reflects a spirit of survival, because (the ad) was in a terminal crisis and the fact today’s draw as an influential minority has given them an oxygen had no prior to this Government. I think this relationship is going to keep, because we need to take forward the reforms, and they need to be able to differentiate themselves from the hard left”, said.
Consulted if the DC should move to the right, the senator says that this is a definition that should make them. “If I were President of the DC, would have a life of its own, rather than relying on other parties,” he said.
