translated from Spanish: ME-O proposed to advance in “a unique program” with Boric and Provoste: “If we do not go together we lose”

After being acquitted of all the charges against him in the OAS case, a day after registering his candidacy for La Moneda, Marco Enriquez-Ominami delved into the reasons for a fourth candidacy. As he said, his “fight is the Constituent Assembly since even 2009, when I raised it in the desert and I was sent to smoke opium. (…) Here we are (with the Constitutional Convention) and I believe that it is threatened by Zañartu and Espinita, by President Piñera and Sebastián Sichel. Both, who are the same, with a very active, very creative minority in the Constituent Assembly, on the right, are undermining credibility and dynamics,” he said. In this regard, he replied that the process “is in danger and I believe that Gabriel Boric, who is a great deputy, and Yasna Provoste, who is a great senator, are not enough.” For the same reason, regarding the presidential campaign, he proposed on Tele13 Radio to create a “unique program” of government with Gabriel Boric and Yasna Provoste. “Comparative experience indicates that if we don’t go together we lose,” he said, referring to the left’s failed unitary primaries. “I have proposed something that has not heard an answer, why do we not make a common program with Boric with Yasna Provoste. A unique program,” he said. In this regard, the candidate said that the standard-bearer of A aprueba Dignidad, Gabriel Boric, “has all the energy, but he does not have a real development plan and a government plan and, on the contrary, in the former Coalition there are many experiences and they do not have energy. We have to find a formula, unitary.”
