translated from Spanish: The curtain of a pandemic campaign came down: deployment of presidencies and focus in the most contested areas marked the last day of propaganda for mega-elections

An intense day of campaign closures had candidates, as this Thursday at midnight ends the campaign and the deadline for electoral propaganda expires with a view to the mega-election of this Saturday, 15 and Sunday, May 16.
For the nearly 17,000 candidates who are no longer running for the Constitutional Convention, governors, mayors and councillors, in addition to the seats reserved for indigenous people, it is now only to wait for the verdict of the ballot boxes, the results of which will only be known on Sunday from 6 a.m., when the closing of the tables and the counting of votes begins.
On the ground, by Zoom, social media and on television, on the last day of the broadcast of the electoral strip, the candidates reinforced their messages at the close of an atypical campaign, marked by the pandemic, and which forced the postponement for this weekend of these elections originally scheduled for April 11.
The presidencies went out to mark presence, as did the candidate RN-PRI Mario Desbordes, who moved to the Biobío Region, with a tour of Cañete, Coronel y Concepción, while in the opposition Gabriel Boric signed a commitment for a Constituent Government together with the candidates for the Constitutional Convention of Common Force, Social Convergence and Democratic Revolution. Evelyn Matthei accompanied The Evópoli Constituent Candidate for district 11, Pauline Kantor, to deliver “pigeons” used in her campaign to the Want My House Foundation, so that materials can be reused.
Others opted for the virtual, as did lawyer Jaime Bassa, who competes in the 7th arrondissement (Valparaiso) for a place for the Constitutional Convention, who bet on a digital cultural festival. In the same area, former voter Aldo Valle, an independent candidate of the Constituent Unit for the governorate of Valparaiso, visited fairs and a common pot, and also had a virtual central event, where he received the support of the President of the Senate, Yasna Provoste, as well as the academic Agustín Squella (candidate for the constituent by the 7th arrondissement), actor Alejandro Goic and the president of the Medical College Valparaiso , Ignatius of the Tower. “I appreciate your conviction, because I think we are making a proposal for the Valparaiso Region differently,” the senator told him about the area, PPD Ricardo Lagos Weber.
Provoste also had a recharged day of support and together with the presidential DC Ximena Rincón joined in a Facebook Live to support the Phalangist letter to the governorate by the Maule, Cristina Bravo.
The dispute in the MRI
In Santiago, the DC letter to the metropolitan governorate, Claudio Orrego, had a campaign-closing event accompanied by nine candidates for mayors of the Constituent Unit in the Plaza de Bolsillo, built during the period when the candidate was mayor.
Claudia Pizarro, Carolina Leitao, Sara Campos, Veronica Pardo, Monica Sánchez, Alejandra Bustamante, Ximena Zuleta, Angélica Cid and América López, were present to support the former sponsor, who will encourage a dispute that will concentrate her eyes this Sunday, since the candidate on the right, Evópoli Catalina Parot, could be excluded from the second round scheduled for June 13.

Also a candidate for governor in this area, the common militant Karina Oliva was again accompanied by the presidential figures of the bloc, such as Gabriel Boric (CS), Daniel Jadue (PC) and Marcelo Díaz (Unir), and re-marked that “here in Apruebo Dignidad, with the Broad Front and Worthy Chile, there is a vocation of unity to build the future”.

Another area of high interest is Las Condes, where the current mayor and presidential candidate, Joaquín Lavín, accompanied Daniela Peñaloza, with whom he has had this week at least seven activities, to reinforce his election before the lashing out of the “republican” Gonzalo de la Carrera.
José Antonio Kast’s candidate opted to campaign close through his social networks. “As the next authority of the commune I have the responsibilityto take care of our neighbors and set an example, which is what our neighbors expect. This is not the time to relax the health measures, on the contrary,” he said.
In the neighbouring commune, Vitacura, Evópoli’s main figures – led by presidential candidate Ignacio Briones – gathered in a banner to support the party’s candidate for the mayoral part of Vitacura, Camila Merino. Meanwhile, the leader of the Republican Party, José Antonio Kast, stood with Cristián Araya, the defiant of the extender, in another contest that fully edes to the right.

Although the propaganda process is completed today, servel has enabled a portal of citizen denunciations (denuncias.servel.cl/inicio.xhtml), where anyone will be able to make any complaints that proceed about violations of the law.
