I came across an interesting article titled “Monsalve baja perfil a ausencia de Boric en sistema frontal”, which caught my attention because it involves politics and weather. The article reports on how presidential candidate Gabriel Boric was absent during his scheduled visit to the town of Monsalve, which had been adversely affected by a heavy storm, and how his competitors have used this opportunity to connect with the affected residents.
According to the article, Monsalve’s mayor, Julio Aguilar, described the absence of Boric as a “great disappointment”, given the gravity of the situation. However, Aguilar also mentioned that senator Yasna Provoste and former minister Ximena Rincón visited the town and distributed supplies to residents affected by the storm. Moreover, Provoste has criticized Boric for not being present during the difficult times Monsalve faced.
This incident highlights the importance of political leaders being sensitive to the needs of their constituents, especially during times of crisis. It also shows the competitive nature of politics, where political rivals may take advantage of the situation to gain support from the affected community.
As we have seen in recent years, natural disasters can cause immense damage that requires a coordinated response from both authorities and citizens. The article serves as a reminder that we need leaders who prioritize the wellbeing of their communities and can offer support in times of crisis.
