Marco himself was elected deputy on the Socialist ticket, but he defected when the party denied him the chance to contest Frei’s nomination in a primary. With this unique mix of insider knowledge and outsider status, and a freshness that both main candidates lack, Enríquez-Ominami has gone farther than most observers predicted.
Marco本人曾被推选为社会党候选代表，但在一次社会党不批准他与弗雷竞争之后他脱离了社会党。Enríquez-Ominami同时具备了圈内人的知识和圈外人的身份，还有两大主要候选人所缺少的新鲜与活力，因此他比多数观察家预测的走得更远。
