Some contacts with President Sebastián Piñera have in recent weeks the mayor of Providencia, Evelyn Matthei (UDI), although for specific things and without more time to address the current political situation. In any case, the ex-deputy, ex-senator, ex-minister and former presidential candidate already has a clear – and somewhat critical – diagnosis of the situation between the government and the opposition, particularly on this issue. that she describes as "madness"
In addition, it deals with the performance of Chile Vamos, says that "I do not think like the president of the UDI", and delves into his role in Providencia and the agenda that Joaquín Lavín is raising in Las Condes. "What matters is what people think of him (…). I can not agree with many things that he does, but the love still prevails, "he says
You said a few days ago that you would withdraw Pamela Jiles from Congress …
They asked for several, and I said several Engel law is very bad Reduced campaign time and funding to a minimum More and more people who have made their name in football, singing, theater, lecturers or People with the same name as their political father will come out, and with these very short times and so little funding, there's no way to let you know when you're a new person. the first Congress in the year 90, and there is precariousness, lack of preparation, sometimes unpleasant ways. But Congress is becoming more and more irrelevant.
Irrelevant?
Irrelevant. Irrelevant and also despised by citizenship. That is, irrelevant precisely because of the contempt that it causes. People perceive a lack of seriousness, a lack of weight. There were so many deputies, so much weight. Today, there are few that really stand out.
Do you see that in both sectors?
We see it in general. Quality has diminished
Let's move on to what is happening today with the dispute between the government and the opposition …
It's just that c & rsquo; Is something else. One thing is the pbad that goes to nothing, play with the ball. That's what I often feel: playing, playing with the ball, but not seeing anyone who, really, makes an attack to score the goal. It does not exist. The fight, on the other hand, I think it has a much deeper bottom … We see an opposition where there is nobody to understand. That's why I think Congress will become more and more irrelevant. There is a gang of drug traffickers made up of nine Colombians and one Chilean, whom we have trapped twice in Bustamante Park. Most neighbors would only want these people to send them back to their country. Why do we have them in prisons? Why after a while are we going to let them go? Are they going to do the same thing again? We do our utmost to give migrants as much as possible, but not to any migrant and do anything. So part of this madness that the left has today is precisely measures such as the one approved in the commission, which prohibits the government from expelling aliens. The way the opposition is acting, so extreme and without understanding the majority of Chileans, is what gives the government a tremendous opportunity to conquer the center, because the opposition is with a leftist complex. What the PS does is commit suicide.
The opposition accuses the legislative drought, but you establish a diagnosis that there is no one to understand and that the Congress is not relevant. Is it necessary for the government to present more projects or with this scenario do you think it's better not to do it?
First, the government can govern without the need to legislate. Secondly, with the madness we are experiencing in this moment, in the House and in the Senate, where they can not hear, where they give you the floor and do not comply with it, there is enough risky to legislate. So, for now I would try to send as few projects as possible, as it is very likely that you will send a horse and that a camel so …

I think that Chile Vamos understood more than eight years ago the enormous responsibility of the parties to facilitate their work and to loyally accompany the government and the president. And probably the president has been much more receptive to the needs and concerns of the parties … What you see is also a more mature president.
However, this week a confrontation between IDU and RN was provoked for the deployment that Manuel José Ossandón had, supposedly, as he did in private to senators pro-government, at the request of President Piñera himself. What do you think?
Let's be clear that he intends to be a presidential candidate. There are several other people who claim to be pre-candidates. And there are others who do not say it, but who are in the polls, is not it? If everyone who believes they have the right to be a candidate would start to act the same way as Ossandón, it would be almost impossible for the government to govern, because we would fight another three months, all with everyone . I think it's not safe or good for anyone, from the point of view of taking care of the current government and having a better chance of winning the next election, to move this career forward. I believe, moreover, that the ministers who tolerated this do a disservice to the government
How do you see your party, the UDI, in this new coalition? Unlike eight years ago, now they coexist with Evópoli, a more liberal party …
It is quite obvious that there are very different visions on very important issues, what Is called "value". What I liked was that everyone defended their position, but not with the aggression. It was a struggle of ideas, but not personalities or struggles. For me, at least, the diversity of opinions is something that I like … I have the impression that UDI has behaved very loyally towards the government. Obviously, there are problems that the council did not like, but that clearly expressed their point of view. I have the impression that they played as a team. I do not think like the president of the UDI. However, I really believe that he did well.
There is a complaint in the UDI that in the early months the government did not put the priority issues on the table and that they made Piñera win. And many in this party criticize the government for promoting the values program: homoparental adoption and gender identity. Do you share it?
President Piñera spoke about the economic issue and has clearly changed the environment since his arrival. He also spoke about public safety and, by God, he spoke to him three days after taking office. And, of course, there were other problems on the table. A government can not be deaf to these things, and it must intervene and make decisions … The government has been very faithful to what it has prioritized in its campaign.
In the UDI they say that these valuable questions are the diaries of the left …
No, these are the country's agendas. Sorry, it's clear that people who are homobaduals have had a very bad time in Chile for decades. Are we going to allow this to continue? In other words, it is not an agenda on the left. It is a program of human dignity
Do you support homoparental adoption and equal marriage?
I think it's very difficult to say whether you support or not. I think the world is going there. And many times, it's about whether we want it now, in five years or ten years. Finally, these are questions that are decided and decided in Congress. If you tell me if a child will be better at a homoparental home or in Sename, does anyone have any doubts about what will be better?
In the UDI, they have doubts …
Ah, Well, I do not do it
And in the UDI, they have doubts about the desirability of allowing marriage equally or not. Do you have these doubts or not?
(Think). Look, it's a subject … I had no doubt that the divorce was coming someday. I had no doubt that the morning after pill would be at some point allowed. These are issues that evolve in societies, and ultimately it's a matter of when we think society will accept it and it will not ultimately be a boomerang. But we go there, we go there anyway.
The agenda of Lavín: "Who am I to judge?"
You have been a parliamentarian, minister and now mayor. What role do you like most?
This. Whenever I badume a position, I badume it with absolute dedication and enthusiasm. I liked being a member of Parliament, Senator and Minister. But it allows you to deal with topics as diverse as culture, urban planning, social problems of buildings that have been spoiled in all departments and there are older adults; like the theme of green spaces and landscaping. It is so varied that it makes it absolutely fascinating. Secondly, you have a budget and many officials, and you can make things happen relatively quickly … And I'm sure we're going to build a municipality that will be far from the best place to live .
measures is leading to Providencia?
The first year was, basically, to order the finances, which we have already ordered, and to improve security. We have an alliance with the carabinieri, the PDI and the prosecutor's office. We are acting quickly to make Providencia safer. In fact, crime rates have decreased. This year comes the complete change of road lighting, with what will be the clearest and, therefore, the safest and most beautiful municipality. There is a job that is really a box, but it must be done: maintenance of sidewalks and paths. In general, it is a year to avoid and bring back the deterioration that this municipality has had, which is coming from the west to the east, and had already begun to s & # 39; establish in some areas: the entire sector of Sweden, the Bustamante Park area, taken by drug, alcohol, prostitution gangs; whole buildings taken by prostitution. All this deterioration that we are trying to clean. This work also involves what we will do in a week against mobile commerce. For the next and for the fourth year comes a revitalization of neighborhoods. What they will start to see, is that the Bustamante Park area is going to be completely renovated, and all the area around Manuel Montt at the Pharmacy and the "Little Vatican" area, all this will be renewed. [19659002] To control crime, you have to adopt measures like a drone, like Joaquín Lavín in Las Condes?
We are going to have a drone that you will use as a mobile camera. The drones that have shown elsewhere, I have the impression that it is more noise than nuts. A drone that does not have a long battery life, that is not able to fly with a pre-established route, that does not have a long distance that it can travel without losing the connections, in fact it is better to have a person there.
Lavín's measures aroused controversy, with supporters and detractors …
For example, the issue of social housing was a theme that I proposed in my presidential campaign. I strongly believe that we need to better integrate our cities, that it is not human or reasonable that a woman should lose two hours and an hour and a half to go to work. What I believe is that it must be done with greater participation.
After the Lavín agenda in Las Condes and its current popularity, Vamos is mentioned in Chile as a likely candidate for the regional governor and, later, again to the president. How do you see that?
I did not speak to him. I do not know what it is, but I do not see that it is acting in a significantly different way than it has always been.
There is an electoral risk that is encouraged by measures that can generate resistance among right-wing voters. In your role as Mayor saw that you can take action away from partisan politics despite these risks?
People do not vote for you or stop voting for you for a measure that you like or that disgusted I think that in the end, people will form an opinion: "I believe this bad , I do not believe this bad ". And this must be done several times with the conviction with which one does things, with the seriousness with which one makes, with the concern, besides, to speak with the neighbors and to take opinions, and to defend then the measures and the reasons for doing something, even if it is unpopular. We had several politicians who were suddenly very popular, and that lasts a little. At five, nobody remembers it. Many times, someone is new, it seems like it's totally different, that it's not flawed … We all have flaws, we all fall, we say all nonsense at some point. Then, if you do not have a distance, the first live you fall. So, I feel that the only thing that works in the end is a serious job, nothing more, a super serious and consistent work.
And do you see that seriousness in Lavin's work?
). I would not have had this drone.
The drone is an example …
Of course. (Think). But who am I to judge? In the end, what matters is what people think of him. And not now. He misses a lot. Joaquín Lavín I have immense affection, in my campaign was an incredible behavior, and I can not agree with many things that he does, but always prima love [19659046]! Function (f, b, e, v, n, t, s)
