Although he hopes that all the democratic forces manage to meet again after the exit plebiscite, Mario Desbordes, who declared himself as one of many center-right people who voted for Approval in the entry plebisciteaddressed the situation of his sector and how it will be after the exit plebiscite of the New Constitution proposal.
“The right after September 5 has to reorder itself and it is likely that some who are today in the UDI and in the RN feel more comfortable with the Republicans, and we respect that position. Others feel more comfortable looking towards the center, and Probably a natural reshuffling will come that should be friendly. I don’t see that after 5 we all continue like 2017, “said the former minister of the government of Sebastián Piñera, in conversation with Third.
The also former deputy and one of the protagonists of the “Agreement for Peace and the New Constitution” of November 15, 2019, added that “we have to see what happens with the DC, with many people from the PPD who are very uncomfortable with the Approval and other center-left democratic forces, with whom we could carry out a political project going forward”, emphasizing that in any case “it is an issue that must be discussed in the coming months”.
Regarding the position of the Republicans —whom he categorically excludes from Chile Vamos— Mario Desbordes said he respected it. In his opinion, “we are in a very different position in what to do after the plebiscite, and they will have to follow their path.”
“I see a good part of the RN, Evópoli, a part of the UDI comfortable with an alliance with Republicans and that will be legitimate. And the same thing happens with the DC, with a sector of the PPD, with the PR that do not feel comfortable allies with the FA and the PC. And this campaign has been positive, because it has also made it visible,” Desbordes concluded, stating that he is already in talks with DC senators Matías Walker and Ximena Rincón.
Finally, asked about his continuity in RN, Desbordes said that he will decide after the plebiscite “depending on many factors.”
