Diputados UDI critican a presidenta de la Sofofa tras reunión con Boric: "No pueden lavar su imagen a costa de las pymes"

The recent meeting between the President of the Sofofa and a representative from the Frente Amplio party, Gabriel Boric, has caused quite a stir among the conservative members of the Chilean parliament. In particular, lawmakers from the UDI party have criticized the Sofofa President, Bernardo Larraín Matte, for engaging in what they believe to be a political move to improve the image of his organization at the expense of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the country. The UDI members argue that Sofofa has failed to represent the best interests of SMEs, with some accusing it of being out of touch with the needs of Chilean businesses. This situation has opened a public debate about the role of large business organizations in the country, and whether they are doing enough to support the SME sector. Many people are also questioning the true motivations behind Larraín Matte’s meeting with Boric, and whether it was aimed at gaining political favors. Overall, this controversy has highlighted the different interests and perspectives at play in Chilean politics and business, and the need for more open and transparent communication between all stakeholders.
