Ossandón asegura que RN tiene la oportunidad de "salirse de Chile Vamos y "tener un camino propio"

In a recent interview, Chilean Senator, Manuel José Ossandón, claimed that the party he belongs to, Renovación Nacional (RN), has the potential to leave the Chile Vamos coalition and forge its own path. According to Ossandón, the party could “break from the traditional right-wing of Chilean politics” and better represent the interests of the working-class citizens who have felt left behind.

While RN has been part of the governing coalition since 2017, Ossandón argues that the party has different priorities than its coalition partners and would benefit from a cleaner distinction between itself and other right-wing parties. Other RN leaders, including the party president, have dismissed Ossandón’s position, stating that they remain committed to Chile Vamos.

This could be a turning point for Chilean politics as the country prepares for a presidential election in November. If RN does decide to distance itself from Chile Vamos, it could create a more fragmented political landscape that may benefit opposition parties seeking to win the presidency. As Chile emerges from a period of social upheaval and economic uncertainty, the alignment of political parties will be an important factor in determining the country’s future direction.
