The President Gabriel Boric urged this Friday a group of young people to end the “prejudices” in politics. For this, he used as an example an insult that they have used against him, that of ‘hake’popular term in Spain to refer to a person who is “foolish or silly”.
“I was very surprised that one of the insults that has been installed to refer to me is ‘Merluzo’which seems to be a Spanish meaning that was said in some Spanish program and one sector took it and then in social networks they shout at me ‘merluzo’ “, assured within the Third Young Future Congress 2022.
“Now we were just entering and a lady shouted ‘merluzo, mamarracho’ and I thought that when that lady opens her social networks, surely she must have pure interactions that reinforce those same prejudices and that same opinion and so, equally, surely vote Reject”he indicated.
In his speech, the President added: “I am not saying this in a bad way, because also the other way around, those who today, for example, support the government surely in their social networks a series of interactions appear against other people and with very little self-criticism regarding what others do and that is wrong, that is wrong.
“We have to find ourselves among those who think differently, we have to recover, as Guido (Girardi) said, society. And there young people are fundamental. You are the ones who break the circle of self-confirmation of prejudices, getting together with different people”closed the President.
At the seminar, the President also reflected on the controversial sayings of the minister, Segpres, Giorgio Jacksonaround the generation that preceded them”.
Winking at RN helmsman, Francisco Chahuán commented: “I want to tell the senator that I fully agree with him on one thing, we need to learn with humility from the experiences of those who preceded us, from their mistakes and their successes. And it is important that those of us who are in institutional positions today, of power, are capable of opening the doors, because a problem that the generation before mine had is that they had many problems in finding, in being able to open those doors. And that in turn generated another problem that my generation, who were in the mobilizations of 2001, 2006 and 2011, somehow formed a little alone, because there was no dialogue between those who preceded us.
