I'm starting from point that there is some translation involved one way or the other and possibility that words for cousin or the concept of cousin may be different in Chile/Chilean Spanish. Is it actually an assertion was that they were cousins politically or via their apparent friendship?
I may of course be completely wrong but not sure it's that silly as a suggestion.
