"No hacemos falsas promesas": el palo de Rodolfo Carter a Boric durante entrega de gas en La Florida

Rodolfo Carter, the mayor of the Florida commune in Santiago, Chile, criticized Gabriel Boric, the presidential candidate for the “Apruebo Dignidad” coalition, during a recent gas delivery event for residents. “We don’t make false promises here,” Carter said, implying that Boric and his coalition had promised more than they could deliver. He also said that the Chilean people needed a president who was committed to delivering on their campaign promises. Boric responded by stating that the delivery of gas to the community was a direct result of the mobilization of citizens, including himself, during the social protests of 2019. The exchange between the two politicians highlights the tension and competing visions in Chilean politics leading up to the presidential election in November.

As a Chilean resident and political science enthusiast, it’s fascinating to see how the presidential candidates are positioning themselves during the campaign. Carter’s remarks show that there is skepticism and distrust of politicians’ promises in the community. Meanwhile, Boric’s response reveals the importance of grassroots social movements in driving change in Chile’s politics. The exchange also highlights the need for accountability and follow-through on campaign promises. With the presidential election fast approaching, citizens must examine each candidate’s track record and ensure that they are committed to delivering real change for the country.
