After going to the second round, the candidate of the Christian Social Front, José Antonio Kast, adopted a more moderate speech in order to capture the necessary votes to prevail in the second round. Votes that you may lose due to the interventions of your most extreme partners, such as those pronounced by the deputy elected by the 10th district of the Republican Party, Johannes Kaiser, and his unfortunate phrase in which he wondered if it had been a “good idea” the women’s right to vote.
“What happens is that you also have a kind of schizophrenia there. Women stop going to the park to jog because they are afraid of immigrants who may rape them, but they continue to vote for the same parties that are bringing those people and you really wonder if the right to vote (for women) was a good thing idea, ”said Kaiser, who obtained 11.7% of the votes in the 10th district (Santiago, Providencia, Ñuñoa, Macul, San Joaquín and La Granja).
Criticisms of his person rained down, and although he defended himself by assuring that it was sarcasm, other “jewels” were found in his Twitter account, for which he had to close his account on the social network. Later, he published a statement in which he apologized and closed saying that his sentences had been “a misunderstanding.”
He has not yet assumed and they already want to take him to the Ethics committee
The host of the YouTube channel “Nacional-Libertario”, where he transmits far-right content and in many cases xenophobic, was forced to release the statement, which is far from the nature of his interventions on the network, it was produced the same day in that Renovación Nacional is precisely negotiating with the candidate of the right to adjust the government program, in order to summon the center, which is where it has to go to look for votes to win the presidency. And exits like the Kaiser’s can become a big problem.
In fact, his statements were criticized by the RN deputy, Andrés Celis, who assured that if he commits this type of attitude again, he will not hesitate to take it to the commission. In addition, he called him someone who may have a “mental disorder”, just when Renovación Nacional and José Antonio Kast seek to reach an agreement to support him in the second round.
“I can’t understand how a person, in this case a recently elected deputy, can refer to women in such a rude and offensive way towards women. The only way that anyone talks like that is if they are under the influence of alcohol, is drugged or ultimately has a mental disorder that must be urgently treated, “he said.
“If this person repeats this type of statements or expressions being a deputy in office, have no doubts that I will be the first to make a presentation in the Ethics Committee against him,” he added.
These statements are in addition to those of several parliamentarians who came out quickly to react. Such is the case of Karol Cariola (PC), who argued that “Kast and his supporters do not“ understand ”that we can have an opinion, use contraceptives, that we have the right to decide about our bodies and that we have the right to vote. Kast and his supporters believe In a world with rights only for men. Kast is a danger to all women. “
Also, the deputy Carmen Hertz accused that “this delusional absurdity, supporter of genocide, crimes against humanity and attacks on the human condition IS ASCO!”.
Meanwhile, Maite Orsini (RD) criticized that “this is the Republican Party: backing down on women’s rights. So clear and so strong.
On the other hand, the elected deputy Emilia Schneider said that “Kast and his deputy Johannes Kaiser must give an explanation because their speeches incite to deny women’s rights and sexual diversities!”
