This Friday morning, the former Minister of Women during the government of Sebastián Piñera, Isabel Pla (UDI), lowered his candidacy for governor of the Metropolitan Region. All this, ahead of the municipal elections in October.
“Our voters, especially those of the UDI, ask us not to fight, to resolve conflicts as quickly as possible.. For the sake of that unity, we have decided to give up my aspiration to be a candidate for governor of the RM,” said Plá from the union headquarters.
It was on April 20 that the public relations representative announced her intentions to contest the position of the current governor, Claudio Orrego(ind.-exDC), who is up for re-election. Although unionism expected it to be the only charter of the sector, in the rest of Chile Vamos (RN and Evópoli) had not ratified their application. Democrats, Yellows and the Republican Party also did not provide their support.
In fact, from the community founded by José Antonio Kast They raised the candidacy for that position of the former minister Macarena Santeliceswhile Democrats did the same with Gabriel Alemparte. In RN, meanwhile, they proposed the former Health Minister Rosa Oyarce. A situation that would have pushed Plá to step aside.
“If the opposition decides to run more than one candidate in the RM, it is highly probable that the ruling party governor will win in the first round.“, he said this day, in addition to ask for “reciprocity” from the opposition.
The UDI helmsman made the same call, Javier Macayawho asked his peers to support his letters in the governorships of other regions: Sergio Giacaman (Biobío), Pedro Álvarez Salamanca (Maule) and María José Hoffmann (Valparaíso).
