The presidential candidate of the Radical Party Carlos Maldonado presented a request to the Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic, requesting a statement from the organization before what he described as an “obvious transgression of the rules of electoral interventionism by La Moneda and the mayor and candidate Joaquín Lavín”
The standard-bearer, through PR Secretary General Mauricio Andrews, presented the letter after this Monday, within the framework of the presentation of the law that guarantees the delivery of an emergency Ife Universal that will receive nearly 15 million Chileans, the presidential candidate of the UDI was invited to La Moneda to explain amounts and deadlines.
“Electoral interventionism must be stopped in its tracks. That is why we have filed this complaint for violation of the government’s rules on electoral dispensing,” the radical helmsman said.
Maldonado added that “we all know that Joaquin Lavin more than mayor of Las Condes, who is leaving, is a presidential candidate and is officially registered in a presidential primary. It is unacceptable for the government to transform the presentation of a social benefit into a political campaign event.”
It should be remembered that this day, with the Minister of Social Development, Karla Rubilar at the head, the Government presented the Universal Emergency Family Income (IFE), resolving doubts to families who have not yet requested it.
The activity was held in the municipality of Las Condes, and was attended by the mayor and presidential candidate of the UDI, Joaquín Lavín. The incident was widely criticized by opposition lawmakers as a move of interventionism on the part of La Moneda, but it was also indirectly questioned by another pro-government presidential candidate, Sebastian Sichel.
