Chilean Presidential Race: Key Strategist Reveals Matthei's Plan to Win

Chilean Presidential Race: Sichel Outlines Matthei's Strategy and Challenges. The Chilean presidential race is heating up, with Evelyn Matthei's campaign strategizing to reach beyond traditional political divides. In a recent interview, Sebastián Sichel, mayor of Ñuñoa and spokesperson for Matthei's campaign, outlined their approach. "The 70% of Chileans who don't identify with any political sector are key," Sichel stated, emphasizing the need to engage with this large segment of the population. He further discussed the challenges of competing against José Antonio Kast, stating, "First, we need to guarantee the construction of majorities. Kast's problem is that I don't believe he can guarantee the construction of majorities and governments of thirds; all they do is harm Chile." Sichel's comments highlight the complexities of the Chilean political landscape and the importance of building broad-based support to achieve governability. The campaign's focus on appealing to undecided voters suggests a strategy aimed at securing a wider base of support than traditionally seen in Chilean politics.
