translated from Spanish: Fuenzalida’s Skepticism (RN) at changing the cabinet: “I would have expected one more revolutionary thing”

MR Gonzalo Fuenzalida was one of the few skeptical voices inside the National Renewal in the face of the change of cabinet that, according to the UDI, favored the party of the Representative. “I just don’t know what the won one is. The only gain of RN is that they put Teodoro Ribera in RR.EE. and period. I don’t see what RN’s big win is. For me the cabinet change had nothing new in the background, it was to move ministers and call former ministers to return to government,” he said in an interview with Radio Universo. When we thought a cabinet change was important, we thought it was important that there was newness and freshness in this. And I feel like that didn’t happen. People who go out, others who move, others who come back to government like Minister (Jaime) Mañalich. But the truth is that I would have expected a more revolutionary thing, the truth is that it did not happen,” he added. “But I also understand that the President has these things cost, he is very loyal to his people and always goes all the way to the last consequences, he intervenes many times, which other presidents do not do.”” We are in the difficult times but that is also reversible,” he said of the results of the CEP survey. “I would have hoped that the cabinet change would have been the first step in reversing this, but unfortunately it didn’t happen.” “The President is very smart and even though they cost him the changes, he’s going to end up making other changes that have been missing.”Holy waterPS Member Marcelo Díaz, also present at the panel, questioned incoming ministers Mañalich, Juan Carlos Jobet and Ribera for the opinion of Comptroller who accused manipulation of the waiting lists of the SanJosé Hospital in 2013, the travel of executives from AFPCapital to Cancun and Ribera’s ties with Eugenio Díaz, respectively. He noted that they are “questions that will not be easy to solve.” “These are three ministers who have serious injuries and injuries.” In the face of this, Fuenzalida said that “no one bathes every day in holy water… are we looking for ministers or are we looking for saints? Who doesn’t have any questioning in life? we all have it… When they are insurmountable it is incompatible with the function, but well, we can all be questioned.”Diaz sends message to the Executive“If the government wants to count on our votes it needs to incorporate some elements, it will have to make a pact and for us the concept of solidarity is fundamental. (…) It’s not the reform we want, but we can make some progress,” Diaz said of reforming the pension system.” I make an announcement ah! In the eyes of a good navigator, it’s a message to the government. The socialist bench has a willingness to dialogue with the government, we would be interested if the opposition other than the DC, which is us and the FA, was called to a dialogue of this kind,” he said. “What things are essential to getting something out, but the reform we want to do remains to be done, and if we go back to government we’re going to push our reform forward.”
