Evelyn Matthei "would be thrilled" to participate in Piñera's campaign

SANTIAGO.- Just one day after UDI Senator Hernán Larraín announced that he would not be joining the presidential campaign committee of Alianza candidate Sebastían Piñera –saying that he needed to focus on his own re-election-, Evelyn Matthei has contended that she is willing to take part in the campaign, replacing resigned official Pablo Longueira.

"I would be thrilled and I think that there is no room here for personal opinions, no room for criticism, the only thing we have to do is unite to move this campaign forward", she asserted.

During an interview with Radio Cooperativa, the senator added that "there are many people in the UDI who are absolutely willing and eager to help Sebastián, and I think that Sebastián himself will have to choose who will do so".

According to statements made yesterday by UDI president Juan Antonio Coloma, the new member of the campaign committee will be decided upon next Monday, considering that there are people running for re-election to Parliament who will play "a fundamental role in that task".
