PS en alerta: Isabel Allende advierte que podría renunciar a su militancia por bochorno con su reemplazo - La Tercera

Key Conflict: Senator Allende's Resignation Threat

Senator Isabel Allende, facing conflict within the Socialist Party (PS) regarding her Senate replacement, threatens to resign from the party. She feels 'revictimized' by the party's handling of the situation following her dismissal from the Senate.

The Replacement Issue

Allende initially chose Deputy Tomás de Rementería as her successor. However, the PS leadership withdrew the nomination, causing Allende's outrage and threat of resignation. De Rementería subsequently withdrew his candidacy citing centralizing decisions and attempts to impose external names.

Party's Response and Internal Divisions

The party leadership, led by Paulina Vodanovic, attempted to rectify the situation, but the damage was done, exposing deep divisions within the PS. The situation is further complicated by competing factions within the party, particularly the 'Grandes Alamedas' group.

Potential Impacts

Allende's potential resignation would severely impact the PS. The ongoing conflict also casts a shadow on Vodanovic's recent appointment as the party's presidential candidate.

• Internal party conflict is highlighted by the differing opinions regarding the nomination.
• Allende's potential departure would weaken the PS.
• The conflict could negatively affect Vodanovic's presidential campaign.
