translated from Spanish: Chahin defends DC vote in tune with the government: “I find it totalitarian that version that we vote all the same to occupy a space”

Christian Democracy again played on the side of the Gobiern Or in the House of Deputies. And it is that, as had been announced a few days ago, the support of 10 deputies of the Phalanx was key for the executive to approve in general his reform to the pension system.
The “accolade” given to the currency-along with the Radical party-was worth the criticism of the former New majority, where they accused both communities (PR and DC) of “turning their backs on citizenship” and “delivering a blank check” to the government in one of the key initiatives of the ADM Inistración Piñera. But, despite the criticism, the helmsman of the DC, Fuad Chahin, defended the posture of his bench. “It seems to me that it is very totalitarian that version that we have to think and vote all the same to share a space,” he accused in an interview with the third and said that “it is not possible to change things without beginning to legislate.”
In Chahin’s view, the DC what it has done is “viable” the discussion of something that is first priority for Chileans. “It is necessary to dimension that ideologically the government and the right were defeated. With the confusion that the opposition has, they are not able to size it, “he said.
The helmsman of the Phalanx points out as a defeat for the government that has been achieved that of the additional contribution “there is no more weight for the AFP and that is administered by a public entity”.
In the face of the pattern that the DC will deselect from the opposition and end up alone negotiating with the executive-as happened with the tax reform-Chahin clarifies that what happens is that the DC “seeks that the policy serves to solve the problems of the people”.
“The DC will continue to analyze the projects with a single prism: whether it is good or bad for Chile. What is bad we will criticize, we will propose alternatives. If we receive these alternatives we will continue to move forward. What we don’t like is going to be rejected. The good thing we support, the bad we try to change and what we definitely do not like we reject. That is the essence of politics, “he added.
Chahin concludes his point by repassing what he has achieved to the head of the party. “I took the lead when everyone said that we were a party that was doomed to irrelevance and today we have shown that our party is decisive in discussing any subject,” he said.
“The time is coming, getting closer, to talk and agree on the electoral and the political, but I am not available to go into history as the president who condemned the DC to irrelevance,” he stated.
