translated from Spanish: “Chile bleeds to death in front of our eyes”: mayors call on the Government and Congress for a “new social pact”

Six mayors of the Metropolitan Region sent a letter through El Mercurio, calling on the Government and Congress to make a new social pact, which could end the social crisis that is going through the country. Among the signatories of the missive are the mayors of Peñalolén, Carolina Leitao (DC); by Vitacura, Raúl Torrealba (RN); of Huechuraba, Carlos Cuadrado (PPD); Felipe Delpin (DC); High Bridge, German Codina (RN); and Central Station, Rodrigo Delgado (UDI).” Today the demonstrations do not stop, the wounded add up, the violence continues. We are hurtby about human rights violations and the ongoing anguish and fear that our compatriots have been suffering for months,” they wrote. “Enough of useless discussions; mestidad and selfishness cease; they submit individual interest to the majority will of the people who chose them properly,” they add. And in this regard, they called on President Sebastián Piñera to “act with realism and determination and propose structural and concrete solutions that quickly solve the most urgent political and social problems”. They also urged Congress to urgently approve projects that sleep in the National Congress and that were approved would resolve many of the demands that today threaten the lives of millions of Chileans. We also demand that they use legislative time to generate the agreements Chile needs and not to wear down on constitutional accusations.” At the end of the missive, they point out that “it is time to act with greatness” and that “Chile bleeds out in front of our eyes. The Fatherland suffers for her children. It is time for a new Social Pact and a great National Agreement to guarantee the social property of all the inhabitants of the Fatherland. Everyone knows what to do. History will judge us.”
