translated from Spanish: Chancellor Allamand is reluctant to leave the front row of the political situation: “The Government is going to reperfilate being able to stop de facto parliamentism”

There’s no point. It seems that President Piñera is not having the strategy to keep his team out of the political situation. Last Sunday he was the Minister of Defense, Mario Desbordes, who, in political terms, defended the concept of “social right” coined by RN and compared his side to the People’s Party in Spain or Angela Merkel in Germany. Today, Chancellor Andrés Allamand did his thing and entered the conflict in La Araucanía, the upcoming candidacies, and the future of La Moneda, ensuring that the government is going to “reperfilate” and will be able to curb “de facto parliamentaryism.”
The Foreign Minister told El Mercurio that the first task of the new team led by Victor Perez was to “order the house”. According to Allamand, this has not only been achieved but, moreover, “the crack that existed between the Government and Chile Vamos has been closed” and, gradually, “harmony is restored within the parties, which was really worn out”.
Let us remember that the official coalition is not going through its best and today it is in full recovery after the defeat experienced in Congress on the AFP issue.
For Andrés Allamand, what’s coming, in 19 months of government and with seven elections ahead, is “a complex but absolutely open scenario.” The ni-new face of Piñera’s new cabinet told the morning that the fundamental thing for the centre-right is to contribute to the government’s uptick and in that it puts its trust. “The management of the pandemic is showing very good results and the ability to curb violence and impose public order will also be an asset,” he said.
Speaking of public order, Allamand referred to the events in recent weeks in La Araucanía where, even in quarantine, acts of violence continue to be recorded in major cities in the region.
Chancellor Allamand is critical of his peers and his main conclusion is that the current government has been punished for “not being able to stop, in many cases, unjustifiable expressions of violence.” “We are going to enforce public order and, at the same time, the government is going to reperfilate being able to curb de facto parliament,” said the former speaker and now head of the Foreign Relations portfolio.
Entering electoral ground, Allamand commented that while in La Moneda they have problems “doors in”, he says it is also very complex “doors outside”. And in his view there is no presidential candidacy on the social democratic left “and I do see that Daniel Jadue and Beatriz Sánchez are becoming very strong,” he added.
Allamand noted that the great advantage of the centre-right today is that it has an institutionalized mechanism to resolve its presidential candidacy, however, it sees that today the opposition has no conditions for organizing a primary. And “if the primary were next Sunday, the winner is Jadue,” the Minrel’s boss said.
It should be noted that this is not the first political intervention addressed by Chancellor Allamand. On August 14, he expressed his repudiation of Maduro’s “dictatorial regime” and called for free elections in Venezuela.
