Tension in the UDI adds up and goes on, and little served the court scratches from the table that runs it, because within hours the stage remains intact and the presidential pre-candidates of the Evelyn Matthei and Joaquín Lavín store have held the pressure of the debate on whether to take them both to a primary or opt for one.
“They’re probably going to leave me out,” Matthei said in Chilevisión, while reinforcing the call for both of them to reach the measurement. “We have to start having less cooking and more asking people,” the mayor emphasized.
But she also responded to her peer Joaquín Lavín, who accused that the issue of gender was being abused, by defending Matthei’s participation as the only female candidate in the sector. “I’m not turning this into some gender. All I’m saying is that our sector cannot ignore the that there is a tremendous challenge and demand for women to be taken into account. Don’t close our space,” he said.
At the same time, the president of the UDI, Javier Macaya, reiterated that the call is that during this week there will be exclusive dedication to the election of May 15 and 16. “What we are playing next week is too relevant to be distracting on the presidential issue,” stressed the MP, who this Saturday met with both aspiring La Moneda in a presence, to ask them to lower the level of confrontation on the subject.
