Political career
In 2012, she defined herself as an anti-communist.[4][5] In 2013 she was criticized for saying that her vote “is worth 10 times more than [my] maid's”. During the 2021 political campaign she was asked if she had changed her mind on the subject, and she replied that “I still think the same”. In 2021, she failed to gain a seat for the Chilean Constitutional Convention.[6]
