And I don’t see anywhere on this thread where Orrego was called a commie though I would if asked given his collaboration with Iraci and Company and the corruption via foundations.
Mundaca of Valpo (Valpo is not RM) is a commie just because he ran under FA to get to where he is though he now tries to pretend he is not a far lefty.
Either way, he nor traitor right UDI Hoffman will get my vote. NULO.
And I do hope that Santiasco voters will unseat Orrego the corrupt with Pancho Orrego of the right (Sin Filtros).
Howdy eeuunikkeiexpat, many moons! Glad to see that many friend from the old times are still alive an discussing as usual.
BTW I think my Partido Republicano obtained a very decent results “vamos lento pero seguros” Kast has dissapointed many people in the right side, and I am myself a bit dissapointed too after the second comisión redactora constitucional, but I cant see no other, so I still support him.
Big news here in Arica with alcalde and governador, noth corrutus maximun are now unemployed.
The most important I think is the change in mind of many ordinary people, I guess left is a dead man walking from now
Welcome back, we all want to hear your insights and especially where our gringo analysis is incorrect.
I have been a supporter of the Chile Partido Republicano for many years and have openly voiced my support on this and other fora.
I was indeed the alternative, “conspiracy” theorist and such on that other forum regarding US and world affairs but toned down on matters in regards to Chile politics because of the owner.
But that was the past and the present is now, so please do feel free to comment even on the most inane topics.
I am the chosen figurehead admin here and have yet to censor anyone as I deeply believe in free speech.
I hope Pancho Orrego en RM wins against the slimy Orrego, corrupt commie collaborator.
And I will spoil my first vote ever here in Region de Valpo, Mundaca commie vs. traitor false right Hoffman. Fuck them both.
I will be voting straight Republican for the next years. They are the only real organized opposition, principled and winning the hearts and minds of the Chilean working/middle class.
Had to spend 1 hour and 40 minutes in line to file the 200km excuse at the nearest Carabineros.
They had only 2 windows, and 2 lines, and regardless of the type of business these lines were equal for all (I mean, those people who, like me, had a digital code issued online by the Comisaría Virtual and only needed about 30 seconds to validate it, and those who have to complete a full paper version of the “constancia” and this paper required about 5 minutes each time, all had to stay in the same line)…
And no one was there to advise them to have two separate lines, so that people would be motivated to do this thing online, and thus save their own and others time…
Voting in an area where both the previous Governor and the local Mayor were removed from office for irregularities, (as was the preceding Intendente), I believe these local elections are a sham, a complete waste of time. Obscurity and lack of accountability has given rise to widespread local corruption and abuse throughout Chile.
I would guess that most of the voters have only a hazy idea of what job these regional functionaries actually do, and who they are accountable to.
