Candidato excluído busca suspensão das eleições para reitor da Usach

A Universidad de Santiago (Usach), no Chile, inicia as eleições para reitor nesta quarta-feira, após o Tricel anular a vitória de Rodrigo Vidal em novembro passado. O acadêmico rejeitado Bruno Jerardino solicitou ao Tribunal de Apelações de Santiago uma ordem para interromper o processo. Ainda não houve resposta judicial, permitindo que a votação com três candidatos prossiga.

Em novembro de 2025, o Tricel anulou a eleição de Rodrigo Vidal como reitor da Usach devido à exclusão de professores do colégio eleitoral. O tribunal determinou novas eleições, que começam hoje com três candidatos na cédula: Pedro Palominos, Andrea Mahn e Cristián Muñoz.

Cinco acadêmicos tentaram se registrar, mas apenas três foram aprovados após contestações. Bruno Jerardino, um dos rejeitados, entrou com um pedido de liminar na Quinta Câmara do Tribunal de Apelações de Santiago, reivindicando sua elegibilidade. Sem uma decisão até o momento, o primeiro turno segue adiante.

Pedro Palominos, engenheiro civil industrial e ex-pró-reitor, destaca quatro pilares: formação, pesquisa, extensão e responsabilidade. "Não chegamos até aqui para transformar o possível, mas para construir o que ainda está por vir", afirma seu programa.

Andrea Mahn, vice-diretora de engenharia, prioriza governança, integridade e excelência. "Nosso compromisso é liderar com regras claras, decisões baseadas em evidências e uma participação triestamental efetiva", diz ela. Cristián Muñoz, ex-pró-reitor de Vidal, visa fortalecer as carreiras acadêmicas e a igualdade de gênero em sete eixos.
