translated from Spanish: José Antonio Kast with La Moneda in the crosshairs: “I’ll be in the second round”

Piñera still has time in La Moneda and people got on the road. Former presidential candidate and Republican Action leader, José Antonio Kast, expressed interest in going again as a presidential letter ahead of the 2021 election.
In an interview with the Bureau Central programme of Canal 13, the former deputy was optimistic about the possible candidacy and stated that he will be in the second round. However, Kastesconite that “the political elite is living in a bubble right now” and, therefore, dismissed its interest in participating in the Chile Vamos primaries.
The historical ex-militant of the UDI took advantage of the instance to refer to the other political figures who could eventually get out on the road to succeed Piñera. First he marked distance from Joaquin Lavín. “In two more years maybe Joaquin Lavín will change his attitude and vote for him,” he said.
Kast also harshly criticized senator and former presidential President Alejandro Guillier. “It’s an institutional danger. If I handed the helm of the ship to him, today we would have a constituent assembly, twice the taxes and would have, perhaps, eliminated the AFPs. It would be a disaster.”
Your relationship with the Government
José Antonio Kast also commented on his closeness to officialism at the moment. In that regard, it hoped that the Government would invite him to explain “how to acquire character”. That said, he did not rule out an eventual alliance with the Executive but only “to defeat the ideological left.”
Love and hatred between La Moneda and Kast, who questioned President Sebastián Piñera himself, saying that he “has no attitude or character” when confronting security conflicts of force.
Under that premise, he referred to the murder of Camilo Catrillanca at the hands of carabinieri. For Kast, “there was no murder, but a police procedure with a fatal result.”
“At most there is a quasi-crime of homicide, because there is no will,” he added.
