The spokesman for the candidacy of Gabriel Boric, Giorgio Jackson, said that the proposal of the standard-bearer of Apruebo Dignidad is more “solid and sustainable” than the José Antonio Kast.In a conversation with Tele13, the deputy commented that “I have no doubts – and I have talked about this with several economists who are not precisely from our coalition – that the candidacy of Gabriel Boric in economic terms is much more solid, much more sustainable than JAK’s candidacy.” In that line, he also warned of the need to better communicate ideas in the matter since it must aim at “everything that can be put in a more concrete decrease, for example, in how we want to improve support for SMEs or in how we want families to have a better economic situation from a minimum wage of 500 thousand pesos.” Also that the macroeconomy can be sustainable, in terms of structural balance. We believe that the fiscal rule must be followed and it seems that the candidacy of José Antonio Kast does not want to follow it according to the numbers they have presented,” he added. Jackson said that “for the same reason, Gabriel’s candidacy offers more economic stability in macro terms and for families to make ends meet.” As for the incorporation of the center-left economist, Andrea Repetto, to the command of Boric, the parliamentarian said that “she is a tremendous economist, I respect her a lot and in the last four years we have worked a lot on different bills where she has been a tremendous contribution and at least we agree a lot on related aspects, for example, in this dilemma of having a tax reform to have those changes versus not having it.” She is much closer to the candidacy we represent and the ideas of the opposition, than to a proposal of regression like that of Kast (…) At least since Gabriel, all efforts are being made, so that from the way in which each person wants, to be able to add to the largest number of neighborhoods and technicians, “he closed.
