Segunda División
Amateur Organization ANFA complained in FIFA the decision of ANFP to create the new Division "Segunda". So even when the team spots are decided, launching was postponed. The controversy, ANFA says, is that Tercera División loses its direct promotion to Primera B (ANFP). A more detailed article is to be posted soon.

Fernández Vial applied to Segunda División, but has own internal problem: elections face current and sepparating directors, the clock is ticking to validate the decision to change to Segunda or stay in Tercera, since the continuity directors claim the spot to Segunda is secured. Iberia Los Ángeles also applied to Segunda.

Basketball

On basketball League Dimayor, UDECONCE lost its third visitor game in a row, 95-91 against Liceo Mixto. Liceo took early distance, mainly by bad shooting selection. A good comeback ended first half even: 40-40. Later parity was broken starting fourth quarter by a 9-0 points streak, that was replied late to have the 2 final minutes in a no bigger than 4 points difference. Two failed three point shots by UDECONCE could not turn the game around. Thursday, February second, the two games series will faced them again.

Major news: Hualpén Mayor indicted. Primaries candidates inscribed.

Last week, enough evidence for indicting Mayor Rivera of Hualpén was gathered and an accusation was presented, it was granted to procede the process, but also the Judge decided Rivera is to remain in custody for being "a danger to society". An appeal was denied, so Rivera will continue detained for at least two months while the investigations continue. The Council resumed functions. Rivera was also being secretly investigated (details are under secrecy). Renounced former prosecutor recognised the charges are essentially the same.

Being elections year, and parties being low on the polls, still the Concertación Coalition, for the Christian Democracy (DC) party, received inscriptions for Primaries Tuesday, January 31. Surprisingly, current Mayor Aguilera from Tomé inscribed as independent, after he renounced his DC party affiliation.

After all the signatures are certified, then the remaining date wil be set, before April's all Coalition Primaries. Hualpén also received extra time to inscribe.
