One week after the electoral campaign period formally started for the second presidential round, the Electoral Service (Servel) updated the registry of contributions for the Gabriel Boric and José Antonio Kast campaigns. This information revealed that both letters to La Moneda support their figures mainly with mandated credits. Unlike the first round, in what was contributed during these days there are not many names of great businessmen or millionaire collaborations.
In the case of Boric, it has so far in its contributions the sum of $ 939,796,612, of which $ 850 million correspond to a loan with a mandate. In contributions without advertising –that is, without the name of the contributor-, it adds up to just over $ 30 million.
The highest donation he received is $ 1,500,000 from Blas Troncoso Montégu, lawyer, Socovesa business attorney –of the real estate sector-, Vice President of the Entrepreneurship Educational Corporation. The communist deputy Daniel Núñez added $ 1 million to the contributions, the same amount as Samuel Jerardino Etcheverry and Luis Felipe Mujica Toro.
The resources that Boric has for the ballot, in these days of campaign, almost double those of Kast. The leader of the Republican Party has a total of $ 471,700,035, of which $ 450 million are from a mandate loan. Ad-free contributions total just over $ 12 million.
The largest contribution that Kast has is $ 1,500,000, made by Inelia Campos, a medical technologist. The second highest is $ 500,000, made by Juan Enrique Concha Ureta, from Viveros Requínoa, national advisor of the National Society of Agriculture, son of the agricultural businessman Alfredo Concha Yrarrázabal.
