An XL ballot is predicted for the election of mayor in San Carlos, following Chile Vamos decided not to hold primaries in the capital of Punilla and to designate the UDI councilor, Jorge Silva, as the sole candidate of the bloc.
Renovación Nacional and Evópoli had proposed their letters, Nayaret Domínguez and Jorge Ávila, however, at the central level they decided on the basis of surveys, and the supervisory work carried out by Silva in recent years weighed when it came to tipping the balance.
However, in the opinion of the RN deputy, Frank Sauerbaum, the decision not to hold primaries “will not contribute to the unity of the bloc”, and will allow candidates to multiply “from the outside”, leaving the sector without a chance once morest the current mayor. who is up for re-election, Gastón Suazo (PS).
“I regret the myopia and arrogance with which we have acted in San Carlos, because there are many candidates, we should have held a participatory primary where Chile Vamos chose its candidate, Renovación Nacional and Evópoli registered with Nayaret Domínguez for Renovación Nacional and with Jorge Ávila for Evópoli. We hoped that the rest of the parties were available and also those who were independent. Today that will surely condemn the election to failure, and we will continue with a bad local government that will condemn San Carlos to continue in immobility, something that the vast majority of the commune has criticized. We are all aware that the town is stagnant, and that is precisely why this phenomenon occurs of there being eight candidates or nine candidates who want to participate, because they understand that the current mayor has done badly, but if we do not act with unity we are simply doomed. to lose,” he said.
From Evópoli, its regional president, Alejandro Mellado, maintained that “legal primaries are always good in local participation, from different perspectives and political positions. For the commune of San Carlos, no legal primaries were registered, but we will work on other measuring instruments to propose the most competitive candidate, our position being to have the only candidate in said commune,” he said, still leaving open the candidacy that will be registered in July. .
“For Evópoli Ñuble there are no complications or inconveniences in this regard, given that our sincere position is to help and work for our political path. Our joint work and strategy is to recover the municipality of San Carlos. More names can be entered, but the optimal thing for the coalition is to bring a single, winning candidate to the ballot for the commune of San Carlos,” he asserted.
“His career prevailed”
From the UDI, Senator Gustavo Sanhueza defended the nomination of Jorge Silva.
“It is essential to respect the Chile Vamos agreements and act together in each of the municipal contests that we are going to face in the region. In the case of San Carlos, the decision was first based on the career, merits and work on the ground of our councilor Jorge Silva, a San Carlino who has been serving his neighbors for many years, fulfilling a supervisory role in the face of serious probity problems. municipal that have come to light during these years. Let us also not forget that he was the most voted councilor in Chile Vamos in the last municipal election, an achievement that must be recognized in his political career and that shows that now he is prepared to take on greater challenges,” he stated.
Secondly, he stated, “all the evidence and studies that we had in view confirmed that Jorge Silva is a very competitive candidate, who today is the first option to lead the commune of San Carlos in the next period. From the UDI we defended Jorge Silva’s option with strength and conviction, and the numbers that were seen at the board level fully supported him. Now the UDI is dedicated to working on the two primaries that are in the agreement. We and our coalition allies must understand that we must act with generosity and unity to confront the left in the month of October,” he asserted.
