Chile: Progressivism in opposition

In Chile the progressivism called upon to be opposition, the strategy aims mainly to not take a step back in progress on more equal opportunities for the poorer classes and middle class, not to belittle the state privatized the few remaining and not lose focus of public policy that the most important countries on the welfare and development of people and especially of its workers.

The Chilean elections (2010) had an outcome worthy of analysis, after 20 years of rule by one of the most successful conglomerates republican history, the coalition suffered its first defeat in the presidential ballot, for three points against the right candidate representative of the parties of the Alliance for Chile, I mean the RN and UDI. Happened, I just want to summarize the three ideas discussed after all, I find may partly explain the defeat of liberalism Chile: The first idea relates how, in a country with 20 years of growth, it does make a difference social and economic one's Coalition of Parties for Democracy can not be interpreted in terms of new needs generated, losing an electorate that in the early ninety-two thousand was incumbent on the ballot, but now stay redrawn the very phenomenon social set.

A second idea has to do with the mistakes in the creation of the presidential candidacy of Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, which had an original sin, which is not being validated by a national primary that was not exclusive of any other candidates and ideas allowing the pooling from the source to all democratic and progressive forces in Chile. In practice, it happened that four candidates for the presidency three values representing the democratic and progressive forces of left and center left, a Christian Democrat and two former members of the Socialist Party, facing a single candidate to the cluster of right.

A third idea that I'm going around was whether progress could have succeeded have led to José Miguel Insulza (OAS) or the President Ricardo Lagos Escobar, instead of Don Eduardo Frei: I think the defeat of liberalism was imminent, not is necessarily a question of candidates in this election but I also had weight, but central was the inability to interpret the historic moment in Chilean society, their needs, their aspirations. After that unite the political forces in that jurisdiction. Today's society the majority vote from the right created by the merit of the ideas that succeeded in passing: change, hope, future, as a way to symbolize the desired economic growth increasingly aspirational Chilean society
