Despite the official delay in structuring a “Against” campaign team, the parties agree that their axes must address institutional conscientious objection, the right to life and value issues, as well as the social state and freedom of association. among others.

The parties of the government bloc expected to deliver their official position regarding the next constitutional plebiscite on November 7, when the document with the Council's proposal is delivered to President Gabriel Boric. However, the deadlines were brought forward.

Last week, at the meeting of the Political Committee of La Moneda, the party leaders and the ministers of the political cabinet agreed on two points: that the Government would dispense with showing itself for the “Against” option for the plebiscite and that the parties would give Know your position together during the following week.

However, several factors changed the scenario: the pressure from Chile Vamos and Republicanos for the Government to indicate which alternative it will support, the decline of the “Against” option in the polls, as well as the advantage of the opposition in the preparation of the television propaganda campaign “A favor” (which must be delivered to CNTV on November 14).

All of this has accelerated the time for the ruling party to make public its rejection of the Magna Carta text proposed by the Constitutional Council. At the same time, the making of a joint declaration is removed from their options.

As explained in the official bloc, the right-wing parties seek to turn the plebiscite into a referendum to evaluate the Government and that, in relation to the TV strip campaign.

 

 

For more than a month they sent a team of “creative” of strategic content, who already worked in last year's exit plebiscite. In fact, they have already spread content through social networks.

And although 10 days ago there was some confidence in the ruling parties, given that the “Against” party was leading the polls with around 58%, some degree of nervousness has emerged, as that figure has dropped to around 52% – according to the calculation they make, adding and subtracting various polls–, even though the “In Favor” does not exceed 35% and the rest is distributed among undecided people.

Ricardo Solari heads PS campaign
In this context, although they expected to announce it over the weekend, the Socialist Party (PS) called a meeting of the Political Commission where it was decided to make its position official for the “Against” option. In the store on Paris Street 873 there will be an electoral campaign team headed by Ricardo Solari, with a strategy oriented towards social networks, the transmission of messages of interest to the people and the television slot.

“It will be more of a campaign focused mainly on social networks and the TV electoral slot. There won't be as many characters, because with the exception of people like Ignacio Walker or Soledad Alvear, for example, the other faces are closely associated with Rejection, instead they are a contribution to this campaign," explains one of those in charge of the official campaign to El Counter.

Similarly, the Party for Democracy (PPD) – although its leader Jaime Quintana already anticipated it in an interview in La Tercera – announced its definition yesterday. The Frente Amplio and the PC would do the same this Sunday, while the Radical Party will reveal its decision on Monday.
