I went to their website to see what they had to say.


(During Monday's meeting with Bachelet, we) found a match between Michelle Bachelet and the Communist Party on issues such as carrying out a tax reform, especially to finance education reform for free universal education, changes in the Constitution and political reforms (mainly breaking down the binomial electoral system), improving the quality and services in public health services, and progress on other issues such as decentralization, culture, housing, pensions, natural resources, youth, sexual and reproductive rights, etc...

...

In addition there was agreement between management and Communist presidential candidate on the need to mobilize citizens and motivating people to defeat (the opposition) in the first round and have a strong win in the primaries.

...

The Communist leader confirmed that they spoke about issues like labor reforms and change of the Constitution. He said the candidate "expressed willingness to continue working a program of labor reforms, she has already met with the Confederation of
Workers and we expect thing to move forward as much as possible along that path. "

...

In answer to the journalists' question asking if the Communist Party aims to integrate a second government of Michelle Bachelet, the President of the community responded that "so far we have decided not to discuss the issue of entering the government for a very simple reason: as the program is under construction, we want to know what will be the final program, which will appear after the primary and that will define the character of the future government. To us for now we are interested in participating in the primaries, in defeat the right for the president elections and that will open the way to install a new government with a good program that embraces the demands of citizenship. We reserve the right to participate in the future government. " PC president stressed that "this will not be another coalition government."
