translated from Spanish: Full opposition refuses to meet With Piñera “as long as the state of emergency is not lifted”

In a process that continues to grow with respect to demonstrations and protests, not only in the capital but throughout the country, the opposition has cross-drawn its mind, setting a minimum floor for dialogue with the Government.In that s they have asked the Government of President Sebastián Piñera to step back in his decision to take the military to the streets through the establishment of a state of emergency, as well as to commit to a concrete reduction of the transport passage. For the time being, President Piñera has only met with his ministers and officials of the official sector, despite his call to collaborate across the national political spectrum. In that regard, the MeP and President of Social Convergence, Gael Yeomans noted that “The President is inviting parliamentarians to meet at La Moneda”, but “As a Broad Front, we have decided not to go to any calls as long as the military is kept in the streets and do not lower the fare. Let them assume their responsibilities,” he added. While Maite Orsini, MP for the Democratic Revolution, said that “we care about promoting dialogue and resolving from democracy, not since its suspension,” she said. “We have told him that we will attend only when he removes the military from the street.” For her part, communist DEPUTY Karol Cariola disclosed that the PC will not hold meetings with the Government “as long as the state of emergency is not lifted.” And he noted that “We will not engage with the President as long as he has the military on the streets!” Similarly, the mayor of Recoleta, Daniel Jadue stated that “I will not meet with anyone until the state of emergency is repealed.” In addition to this position, the DC and various communal chiefs, parliamentarians and leaders of the entire opposition have joined.
