  • Gael Yeomans criticized the first six months of José Antonio Kast’s government, accusing it of pursuing an outdated ideological approach to security and the economy.
  • She said the administration’s policies, including its tax reform, reflected an imposed and non-dialogue-based style of politics.
  • Yeomans called for stronger progressive resistance to protect rights but said an agreement with the executive remained possible.

Frente Amplio president Gael Yeomans says José Antonio Kast’s government could achieve much more if it moved away from what she called political fanaticism.

In an interview with El Diario de Cooperativa, Yeomans assessed the administration’s first six months and accused it of applying an “outdated” ideological approach to issues including security and the economy. She said the government’s tax reform was one example of a broader political style.

If the government abandoned its fanaticism, we could do much more for the country.

· Gael YeomansShe criticized what she sees as the government’s ideological approach.

“The government of President Kast, not only through its statements but through its policies, and tax reform is one of them, has shown a way of doing politics that is not dialoguing, but imposing,” Yeomans said.

· Gael YeomansShe described the government’s political style during an interview with El Diario de Cooperativa.

She argued that the progressive coalition must show greater resistance to prevent what she described as a rollback of people’s rights. “We need to build that wall of resistance against any setback that could mean harm to the rights of ordinary people, rights that we believe must be protected,” she said.

Yeomans nevertheless left open the possibility of reaching an agreement with the executive, while saying the government had so far acted in a way that obstructed dialogue.

We need to build that wall of resistance against any setback that could mean harm to the rights of ordinary people, rights that we believe must be protected.

· Gael YeomansShe called for stronger progressive resistance to protect people’s rights.
