Chilean Libertarian Party presidential candidate Johannes Kaiser has initiated a new campaign strategy focusing on his economic proposals. This includes a new tax reform, reduction of corporate and SME taxes, and elimination of inheritance and capital gains taxes. The strategy involves gradually releasing details of his platform, starting with the economic aspect.
Kaiser's recent poll numbers have shown stagnation, prompting concerns about his campaign momentum. Some within his party attribute this to the waning novelty effect his initial popularity possessed, with a recent Cadem poll showing a drop in spontaneous mentions. While he initially enjoyed a rise in polls, rival candidates like Evelyn Matthei have highlighted his comparatively less robust campaign teams and experience.
Despite the lagging numbers, Kaiser's team maintains that the new strategy is independent of poll results, emphasizing the August candidacy deadline. They intend to continue unveiling aspects of the party platform, highlighting the efforts of their teams working on health, culture, and justice policies. Kaiser's participation in the first round of the election will reportedly hinge on reaching 15-20% public support.
