Approximately 16 million Chileans will participate in the first presidential election through automatic registration and registration. compulsory voting of its history. This Sunday will mark many milestones, and some might suggest they will be surprising. But I can fully explain what has happened over the past seven years. Chile The left is on the verge of unprecedented defeat in both chambers of Congress, and the hard right enters this day with its first presidential challenge in modern times.
In 2019, Chile took to the streets to demand development-specific social demands. Over the previous three decades, the country had successfully accessed a group of high-income countries, reduced poverty to the continent’s lowest levels, developed infrastructure and brought connectivity in line with European standards. However, government social services such as education and health have lagged or caused particular dissatisfaction in societies wanting to reach the next level of goals. Its impetus was controlled by the left.
The progressive constitutional court defeat provided the first warning that dissatisfaction is not synonymous with dogmatic or ideological adherence, but rather with a desire for nameless happiness. It was an exercise in over-interpretation.
This defeat also showed something else. While there were nearly 6 million Chileans who did not vote, nearly 6 million were found to have voted. Far more realistic than arbitrary. They are apolitical in a partisan sense, but when forced to vote they roared loudly. Voting was made compulsory to avoid a disconnect between reality and politicians’ ideas.
However, leaders elected by more ideological voters were already in government. His program, which reflected social aspirations in 2019, has become irrelevant. The pandemic has imposed the following challenges on Chile: Unchecked immigration and the progression of cross-border crime. Soon after, people began to forget about health and education and started demanding the most basic things: safety and integrity. Changes in the hierarchy of needsas Abraham Maslow warned.
The government’s lack of responsiveness to these issues has typically been distasteful to progressives, creating a general feeling of boredom among a significant segment of the electorate. Today, the voting intention of candidates opposed to Gabriel Boric reaches 65% of the total votes cast.
Chile, which insists it defines itself as a “gray” country with no major shocks, has reacted with horror to the emergence of hitmen, mutilation, kidnapping and human trafficking networks in almost every region. This number is very different and very far from the numbers for Ecuador, Colombia, and Mexico. However, the country ranks among the top three in the entire planet for its people’s fear.
This is how we reach today. and A more pragmatic and de-ideological electorate. A frightened country that appears to be asking for a strong hand – order – to reinvigorate the economy and ensure that women’s unemployment rates rise from today’s highest levels compared to recent decades. On the eve of a social pandemic, society is sometimes talked about with a certain melancholy.
Something like Newton’s laws: action and reaction. Return to the previous and even move towards the unprecedented, right There is a possibility of obtaining a majority in favor of constitutional amendment in both houses of Congress. And that toughest sector will try out the presidential band in a runoff election to determine the president with the most votes in history. No, that’s not surprising.
