It was after a meeting between party leaders, parliamentarians and the former presidential standard-bearer, Beatriz Sánchez, that on August 21, the Broad Front decided to bring its own candidate to the first presidential round in November 2021.
Which would ruin the possibility of competing in primaries with the rest of the opposition, according to La Tercera.
The president of the Socialist Party, Álvaro Elizalde, criticized the determination of the leftist bloc, since his judgment would damage the sense of unity in the opposition.
The leader of the Christian Democracy, Fuad Chaín, de-dramatized the fact and affirmed that there is political space for the Broad Front to bet on a presidential candidacy in the first round.
However, he called on the opposition parties to generate consensus in the face of the primaries for mayors and regional governors, set for November 29.
In the Frente Amplio, meanwhile, the president of the Democratic Revolution, Catalina Pérez, specified that a mechanism to raise a possible presidential candidate has not yet been defined in the bloc.
This position was reinforced by the Commons helmsman, Jorge Ramírez, who pointed out that the efforts of the Broad Front are focused on the plebiscite of October 25.
One of the names that are considered in the Broad Front for the presidential elections of 2021, is that of the former flag bearer Beatriz Sánchez, whose figure, in addition, they seek to position for the campaign of the “Approval” of the constituent plebiscite.
