What seemed settled and without turning back, with two very marked positions, apparently now would not be like that. We are talking about the negotiations in the ruling party to go on one or two lists for the elections of the Constitutional Council. The decisions, initially taken, could change, since the option currently being considered is that of a list, a desire of President Gabriel Boric, although not everything is assured.
The president of the Socialist Party, Paulina Vodanovic, is one of the promoters that this can happen, as she said last Wednesday, passing the ball – in football terms – to the PPD, who according to its president, Natalia Piergentili, initially were going to compete on a different payroll from that of the Broad Front and the PC, adding the radicals and the Christian Democracy. although he later stressed that this decision did not imply disloyalty to the Boric administration. This particular decision is the one that can be totally different during this day.

“There is still hope,” said Vodanovic, who postponed his political commission scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Friday until after noon, because the PDP – his historical partners – asked him for “more time.”
One of those who addressed this matter was the PS deputy, Leonardo Soto, who pointed out that “we are in the last 72 hours of a real marathon of negotiations and in the end there are usually some adjustments, some last-minute proposals. So the different collectivities that are in this, are making their decisions already final. They have not asked for more time to be able to have a greater space, to be able to discuss their final position internally. And of course, we got it.”
“We have defined what the political line of the party is, it is unity, which is undoubtedly the most convenient and sensible from every political point of view, also electoral for the government, for the ruling party. And in that we have not changed. But other political parties are taking a deeper analysis. Perhaps our position is getting stronger, so we must give space for understandings to occur,” he added.
Regarding the PDP’s decision to finally agree with them, Soto said that “hope is never lost. The paths of division are always much easier. It is enough to be uncompromising. The paths of unity always need more effort. They are full of difficulties, challenges, insecurities. But I’m still confident that unity can come together.”
This list – which already integrates the PS – already has the Liberal Party, who this Thursday night distanced themselves from the PPD and decided to agree with the coalition of origin of President Gabriel Boric, who has insisted that the parties make a last effort and avoid a break in the face of the elections of the Constitutional Council.
