The representative of Amarillos for Chile criticized the head of the Republican Party, José Antonio Kast, for the leadership of his party. “Leaders should not limit themselves to being the sounding boards of their tribes, we have abundant examples of that disastrous type of leadership in these times, of politicians serving Twitter and social networks and surveys,” was one of the criticisms that did. “The most important distinction is the one that must be made between leaders who privilege protecting their political capital instead of risking it in decisive moments for an objective that is for the good of the community, in a broad sense and not only for the legitimate, but narrow interests of his partisan group,” he added.

The leader of Amarillos for Chile, Cristián Warnken, expressed his concern to the head of the Republican Party, José Antonio Kast, about the constituent process currently led by the Constitutional Council, to the point that he called Kast a “bad leader.”

“If I write to you it is because of my concern about the drift that the constitutional process is having and because I believe that it is in critical moments when true leadership is tested, and you are the leader of a party that has the majority.” in the Constitutional Council, that is, a party on which the greatest responsibility falls for the success or failure of this second process, and I emphasize second, with all the implications that this has," says Warnken in a letter published on radio Pauta .

 

 

In that sense, he explains that “leaders should not limit themselves to being the sounding boards of their tribes, we have abundant examples of this disastrous type of leadership in these times, of politicians who are servants of Twitter and social networks and surveys.” . Leaders who read surveys to make decisions instead of making decisions that cause changes or inflections in those surveys.” “The most important distinction is the one that must be made between leaders who privilege protecting their political capital instead of risking it in decisive moments for an objective that is for the good of the community, in a broad sense and not only for the legitimate, but narrow interests of his partisan group,” he adds.

Along with identifying the two types of leaders in Chile, Warnken tells Kast that he does not believe that he is a “fascist, as he was caricatured in the last presidential second round, nor a Bolsonaro, nor a Trump, nor Bukele, nor Milei in his Chilean version, despite the fact that he has taken selfies with some of them" but that he is "a conservative in values and liberal in economics and represents a part of the traditional right that does not feel represented by the others." more liberal right-wing political parties. And that's fine. In democracy, we must all fit in.”
