James Hamilton suggests Chile reins creates destiny - James Hamilton: “Chile is for today to take the reins and start creating its own destiny”. The surgeon explained the principles and challenges that give rise to the Party for Dignity, which is in training and whose bases are critical of the Government, Congress and institutions that "have abused by its asymmetry of power."

This Monday a new community was presented whose purpose is to serve as a space to be part of the constituent process. This is the Party for Dignity, registered during this day by its main representatives.

James Hamilton, whistleblower of the priest Fernando Karadima; the national journalism prize, María Olivia Mönckeberg; and, the musician Claudio Narea, are part of the leaders of this conglomerate that emerges.

And it is precisely Hamilton, one of the main denouncers of the abuses of Karadima, who was in charge of the spokesperson of this party in formation. "It's a match that is from Chile," Hamilton said in the Registered Trademark.

“We believe that Chile needs a new social agreement. We have enough brains and enough hearts to create a new way of understanding each other, ”he explained.

    “Chile is today to take the reins, commit and start creating its own destiny. We need to change our future ”

Regarding his militants, Hamilton said they are neither left nor right, but he could say that they are not related to the current government. "If they are supporters of the Government, it means that they are supporters of human rights violations, that they are supporters of a neoliberal policy," he said.

“There is no gray variation in human rights violations. Begin to interpret that the lives of dozens of people are less important, the eyes of hundreds of people, the rape of women (…), if that is within what could be called the rules of the game, that is aberrant, ”said Hamilton .

He also confessed that the leadership or spokesperson of the Party for Dignity came "bouncing", because in principle the bases considered Maria Olivia Mönckeberg as the leader. "Deep down he runs the same from behind," he said with a laugh.

Meanwhile, the diagnosis made by the members of this party accounts for a series of abuses, which they maintain are systematic. “What we are seeing is the result of abuse, it is a transversal situation. Those who make up the institutions have abused for their asymmetry of power, ”he said.

On the principles that govern this party in formation, Hamilton said that neoliberalism is rejected, as they look for a way for the state to have "a social inspiration."

In this way, environmental issues should, in their opinion, be among the priorities. This would be reflected, for example, in giving greater powers to the Ministry of the Environment and allowing other ministries to submit to it.

Since the same party is a response to the political scene, Hamilton referred to the role played by both the Government and Congress during this social outbreak.

“We are in a critical situation. The country faces a situation in which the Government has tremendously low acceptance. He has done so badly that he has a very low acceptance. That makes the country difficult to govern, ”he said.

On the other hand, the surgeon questioned the role of the current political parties, who in his opinion “have kidnapped the constituent process”.

“Political parties do not want independents to have a voice. They say it, but in the end what happens, that if you want to be independent you need to go to register a good number of people, before a notary, they have to have the money, the possibility of setting up a campaign, ”he said.

In that sense, part of the same criticisms that are drawn from the Party for Dignity towards the Government also touch parliamentarians. Hamilton said he was seeing the steps followed by Congress that finally decided to open this platform.

"Seeing the process in which Congress began to separate deeply from what the citizen demand was, we also began to see that the possibility that the independents had representation was getting smaller and smaller," he said.
