The Socialist Party (PS) ratified its position of presenting a single list for the election of constitutional councilors on May 7.
The information was released after a central committee was held during the day on Saturday. Through a statement, the party informed the decision to go on a unitary list of the ruling party.
“The decision to go on a unitary list is fundamentally explained by the need to face the growth of the right and conservative forces,” they said from the PS.
“Unity is a question of the present, but above all a question of the future. Not only for this election, not only to support and support the government that promotes reforms in favor of our people; but to project into the future a transformative political force that Chile requires and that implies projecting unity also for the next political challenges. We have to go together from the DC to the PC,” they added.
After the assembly it was announced that if the alliance is possible, former President Michelle Bachelet will lead an eventual single list of the forces of the ruling party before the constituent process. However, the Party for Democracy (PPD), after holding its General Council, 94% of its members supported the idea of going with a separate list to Apruebo Dignidad.
