“In recent times I have begun to feel very uncomfortable, because I was part of this process and I feel very responsible that today we have the government we have. And somehow I am very concerned that the Concertación is jeopardizing the political project of I approve dignity.” With this phrase, the mayor of Recoleta Daniel Jadue slipped a criticism of the Government, pointing to Democratic Socialism; the ruling coalition composed of the Socialist Party (PS), the Party for Democracy (PPD), the Radical Party (PR), the Liberal Party (PL), and New Deal.
The mayor of Recoletano and militant of the Communist Party (PC – I approve dignity), made these comments in his program “Sin Maquillaje”, which is broadcast on YouTube. “The Concertación arrives and joins this political project and wants to take it and wants to kill the political project of I approve dignity,” he said.

“There is discomfort in Apruebo Dignidad because finally the Concertación arrives and imposes its terms,” added Mayor Jadue, giving as an example the discussion of the TPP-11, where the fracture between both coalitions of the Government of President Gabriel Boric was evident.
“Think about what has happened, the TPP that is the most serious. Apruebo Dignidad was not a supporter of the TPP-11, the Concertación arrives and imposes it on the President when they arrive after the defeat of September 4, they do not ask anyone’s permission and impose it on them,” the mayor lashed out, pointing to Foreign Minister Antonia Urrejola (close to the PS).
“Minister Urrejola comes out today (Wednesday) and says ‘no, the treaty is going to be deposited even if the side letters do not prosper. In other words, the ministers of the Concertación take the floor off the president and take away his authority. And this is permanent, “said the communal chief, acknowledging that he is not clear if there was a previous meeting to make such a decision on the trade agreement, reviewing in any case the minister of the General Secretariat of the Presidency (Segpres) Ana Lya Uriarte.
“The question is whether there was any conclave of the two coalitions that form the government and there it was decided that these are the reforms they achieve or simply Ana Lya Uriarte is communicating it to the President and the coalition with which he governs telling him ‘boys, keep your program because we are not going to do it,'” Daniel Jadue questioned. arguing that “here there is a permanent tension between those who governed 30 years with the politics of the possible.”
The harsh analysis of the communist mayor is as follows: “Today, apparently, like Jorge Burgos in Bachelet’s second term, they want to put a handbrake on her and also want to impose their particular interests and their financiers. Because we remember that the TPP11 was not an emergency for Chile, much more urgent is crime and health.”
Daniel Jadue wonders who governs La Moneda: “The Concertación or I approve dignity? Because as far as I can remember, the Concertación lost the elections and got the worst result in its history.”
Jadue finally said he hoped that the president “will recover his authority and tell the Concertación ministers who joined the government that they cannot take him and cannot ignore him as they are doing.”
Mayor Jadue also took charge of his criticism of the Carabineros during the third anniversary of the social outbreak, when he said that “the repression remains intact,” responding to the government spokeswoman and her co-religionist Camila Vallejo. “If someone pretends that I, who am not a government official … I cannot criticize when the government does exactly the same thing that the right did trying to violate the right to peaceful demonstration, taking over the Plaza de la Dignidad with Carabineros from top to top before people arrive so that they can not demonstrate, that does not seem to me and I will never support it. ”
