Diego Ibañez, presidente de Convergencia Social: “Estamos pensando cómo avanzar en mayor unidad con el Frente Amplio”

So, I read this article today about Diego Ibañez, who’s the president of Convergencia Social, and he’s talking about how they’re trying to work more closely with the Frente Amplio, which is another left-wing political coalition in Chile. It’s interesting because Convergencia Social was created by some ex-members of the Frente Amplio who thought it needed to be more radical and less compromising, so it’s a bit of a reunion in a way.

Diego Ibañez says they’re committed to building a wider front of social forces that can unite around a transformative project to address the structural inequalities and systemic issues that affect Chilean society. He acknowledges that there are differences of opinion and strategy, but that they’re having a constructive and respectful dialogue to find common ground and move forward together.

I think this is a positive development, especially given the ongoing protests and political turmoil in Chile over the past year. It’s important for progressive forces to come together and present a united front that can challenge the status quo and demand real change. I’ve seen firsthand how grassroots movements and community organizing can make a difference, but it’s also crucial to have allies in government and other institutions who can push for systemic change from within.

All in all, I think this article highlights the importance of building coalitions and working towards a common goal, even if it means putting aside some ideological differences or personal animosity. It’s not always easy, but it’s necessary if we want to achieve meaningful progress and create a better future for all.
