Cross-cutting criticism generated a controversial expression used by the leader of the Republican Party, José Antonio Kast, against President Gabriel Boric during his tour of Europe.
In the middle of an event organized by the ultra-conservative party VOX, the two-time candidate for La Moneda assured that “In Chile we are governed by a political transvestite.”
“He is a political transvestite who promised that his government would be the tomb of neoliberalism and now, as president, he intends to give us a lecture on economic growth and investments”Kast noted in his speech.
The concept used by the former deputy was widely criticized by the ruling party and was not even shared by Chile Vamos. For example, Senator Javier Macaya, president of the UDI, maintained that the Republican’s words “depart from what the political debate in our country should be.”
However, this is not the first time that the concept “political transvestism” has been used in the political arena of our country. In fact, it was Gabriel Boric himself who attacked him in 2015 to refer to the current president of the board of directors of TVN, Francisco Vidal.
“How shameful Vidal’s statements are when he says that you have to ‘close your eyes’ when asking for money from companies like SQM. “Political transvestism that is disgusting”expressed the head of state through his Twitter account when he occupied a seat in the Chamber of Deputies.
This publication was put back on the table at the end of last year, when Boric appointed Francisco Vidal to his current position at the state channel.
It should be noted that the old tweet was deleted from the president’s account.
