“Hope beats fear” in Chile
In Chile, “hopes conquered fear” and Boric, the candidate of the “freedom coalition” formed by hope, was elected president with a comfortable majority. This electoral victory contains important lessons for the world.
Yes, in Chile, “hopes conquered fear” and Boric, the candidate of the “freedom coalition” formed by hope, was elected president with a comfortable majority. This special country of Latin America has made it very clear that the path to power will not be opened without a unity of power in the broadest sense. Boric’s address to women as “special” after his election victory shows once again that women are the key to unlocking the elections. With this victory, it has made the 4th country’s choice in Latin America this year in favor of democracy.
Boric seems to have completed 2 important tasks before the second round: The first is to form an alliance that brings the whole society together and to write a complementary economic program. Second, former President Ms. Taking Bachalet with him, he wrote a letter apologizing to the Christian democrats for the “arrogant attitude” of the left in the past.
So, what’s in this program?
1- Income tax will increase by 5% of the national income in 4 years.
2- The social security system will be strengthened.
3- Private insurance system will be liquidated.
4- Steps will be taken to consolidate the country’s financial system.
5- Students will be forgiven for their tuition debts.
6- The minimum wage will be increased by 50%.
7- The share of the public in the energy, mining and communication sectors will be strengthened.
8- Weekly working time will be reduced. Transgender gender will be given 1% employment right in the public sector. Undoubtedly, the “luck factor” is always an important factor in elections. The death of the wife of dictator Pinochet, 5 days before the elections, asked Boric, “Think about it, shall we go back to these days?” asked the subject. But he wasn’t content with that, he called for “the destruction of the empire of fear”.
The commitment that says “I will be a president who works for the quality of life of your family every day” explains very clearly the connection of the election issue with the grassroots, the farthest end of society.
You have to learn a lesson..
