      @The BadderMan I live in Chile, I have had to resist all this, and what you say is true. The media love the history of people fighting for their rights. But the truth is that this is a story of the legitimate discontent that people have with the problems of their country, being used by the communist party and foreign agents. Voters chose the liberal model in the last elections, and now half of the country that lost the election marches destroying everything and threatening violence against the true majority. We have had to go out to defend our homes while the foreign media only concentrate on the absurd requests of the left and the nice protest. I can assure you that when a mob comes to burn and destroy your neighborhood, everyone would want their law enforcement forces to act even strongly if necessary.

    I am Chilean citizen living in the hot zone and this is my point of view:
    To the international community reading this; what’s happening here are several things bundled as one, a multilayered scenario.
    1) Sao Paulo Forum powered by Siglo xxi, this is what organized the riots and total destruction. The “Evade” sign has been on the streets for months, a subliminal way to get people used to the movement in preparation for it.
    2) Social movements fed up w the current economics, that favor the rich, and punish the middle class.
    3) Health care. If you have money, great, if not good luck waiting for months on the public system
    4) Pension money managed by private companies ending in lower pensions due to high commissions
    5) Utility bills, tolls, etc
    6) Free Education. Chile’s professional education is one of the most expensive ones.
    7) Most people don’t read or research or have the facts but instead repeat what media or social media says. Very easy to brainwash.
    Ultimately the Siglo XXI movement, is the same one behind Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia and prepared this for a long time and took advantage of the social discontent, got the students pumped up to “EVADE” the subway and that was sufficient to spark the flame, and then the destruction plan was performed to near perfection, all under the “social discontent” flag.
    So people of the World, as a citizen who conmute by bike in the middle of the hot zone, and has seen it in real time and NOT on biased TV as the hostess, I can tell you that if you stand still in the streets you can see the two groups... pacifist citizens protesting and anarchist/terrorist fueling the flames.
    I just purchased the constitution to READ IT before commenting or promoting a change to it. It is my duty as citizen.

    BBC is not the best channel, they do not represent people’s view not even in the UK. They support Brexit, Boris Johnson and Trump. However, they believe they have the right to criticise other countries when their own government haven’t done a social agenda like the one Sebastian Piñera was explaining here. In fact, Boris Johnson who supports Brexit is supporting actions that they will only increase the cost of living for the UK, including the Health system

He seems to be the type of person that can direct his thoughts while at the same time has an emotional control of opposite intuitive communication. Many people just do not handle these situations under pressure, he does it very well. I hope that the 30 years of indoctrination from socialists and communists do not interfere with rational thinking, because he has clearly stated all the measures his government is taking. He is open to change the constitution also. I feel and think many people hate him, from common people, to left wing politicians and including right wing politicians. To exercise power is to face countless enemies that can lie, kill, steal, plot etc.

      @@bar_pas Chile Spends a lot of money on businesses and people. For example in the south a lot of money goes every year for grass, feed, animals, and winterhouses, just a very small example. The left wants power so they capitalize on mistakes and corruption, but to say Chile es neoliberal is repeating what left say, because the facts show that Chilean government spend a lot of public funds in helping businesses to sustain and grow. What I said before is to express that we do not have a neoliberal government but does not address other aspects as pensions, salary, health, education, which all are very deficient. Today, after all the violence, politicians are aware of those problems and are moving to change it. People in the streets are young idealistic folks that defend their elders, they want them to have more so they can live better lives. I can go on and on and on, but I cant, so I will just finish saying that Chile needs to change in the way politicians make laws to distribute wealth in a healthy and economically sound fashion, also to show that corruption will not be tolerated so that all people are treated equal regarding the law, also that education for the new world we are living is fundamental (small businesses and e-commerce I believe is key), and finally that changing the political system from representative democracy to a different form, in which state powers are located under it, will destroy the balance of power and a form of tirany will rise and doom all Chileans have done. Chile is Changing, and politicians are awake as much as all chileans.

    I'm chilean. I don't like Piñera. But I'm tired of foreign press repeating the same myths and lies of extreme left.
    Chile isn't even close to be the most unequal country in Latin America. Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Brazil, Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Mexico... all those countries score worse than Chile in terms of GINI index. Just check The World Bank website. Chile like Piñera said is on average in Latin America in terms of unequality.
    Also unequality it isn't the only parameter to measure the development of a country. If that was the case Cuba would be better than US given it has better GINI index... guess what... a country where everyone is equally poor is worse than a country that is unequally rich. That's why cubans vote with their feet and migrates to US instead americans migrating to Cuba.
    Chile has the lowest poverty rate in Latin America along Uruguay. It has the highest per capita index, it is the country with the best scores in terms of Human development index, lowest mortality rate and highest life expectancy in LA (even better than US and some european countries).
    Sure... we aren't a developed country yet. But before free market system we were even worse than now... we scored in the lowest position in all those rankings before capitalism became dominant. What we need is reduce corruption and improve our free markets institutions to attract investment and diversify our economy so it's not just copper dependant. But the protesters just represented a minority that lost in the referendum for a new constitution. Chile doesn't want socialism. Chile wants a better free market system with increased social security, increase internal security and improve the labor market.
    Protest doesn't equal to "majority". You just need an organized minority to make a lot of noise.

    Katy Watson is biased and ill-informed. In a previous news note, she said that the cazorelazo started during Pinochet when it is documented (and I know from people that did it) started during Allende’s government. In that same note, she was with “protestors” out in the streets when curfew had taken place when it was stated by law that no one had to be outside. She was there at that time to get more sensationalist images. Just two minor points that proof she is not an objective reporter (shame on you BBC News for having such a bad reporter when your other journalists have done a much better job).
    Chile needs to improve and EVERYONE agrees on that, but never should violence be the way. The looters and rioters are criminals and they should be prosecute in accordance with the law. Not all the deaths have been caused by the Armed Forces or Carabineros. Four people were burned in a supermarket by rioters. Piñera is correct when he says there are two sides: peaceful protestors and then violent criminal aiming to destroy everything. The deaths that occurred by the Armed Forced or Carabineros were not during peaceful protests, but when criminals were rioting or looting small and medium shops or destroying public property. Of course they should not have died, but these have been and are extremely violent confrontations. How should Carabineros and Armed Forced protect civilians, private property and SMEs? I remember being in London when the riots happened (it was scary!) and the British police was also accused of police violence. Should this had happened, no but again it was a violent situation. And where are the human right for the civilians and the armed forces? A female Carabinero had her face burned by violent protestors...she and everyone trying to protect and establish peace in Chile has equal right to human rights.
    Many comments say Piñera is corrupt and a liar...all politicians are corrupt and liars, specially in South America. The previous governments of the Concertación have all been accused of corruption, fraud and embezzlement, likewise the right-wing parties. So please save the comment about corruption. It’s mute!
    The social issues and inequality in Chile have been going on for decades. Piñera’s government has put in place much stronger social policies than any previews governments, including those of the Concertación. There is no need to change the constitution to make the changes asked by the people and definitely do not need a constituent assembly.
    Finally, this constant violence will not help the country to reconstruct and prosper.

They split the votes between 4 candidates this last time. In the elections Pinera only got 36% of the votes, and they had to do a runoff election, in which he won by 54%, so of course that more than half of the population is not happy with him, when 64% of the population did not want him there in the first place! It was only because the vote was so split off that they had to do a runoff in which he took the majority of the votes but barely!

Give the guy a break! Plus what would have done if people are burning infrastructure in your own country or cities, wouldn’t you ask the government to get things under control? I am from chile, I am constantly talking to my mother, and she cannot even go out after 6pm right now because you have these criminals that are robbing the people, the banks, etc. She cannot even get her medications because clinics and hospitals have had to close down because of the riots. Agree: there is inequality that needs to be remedy, however, no government has been able to solve those problems in two weeks, nor they will accomplish all that in a second: not in Chile, not in the USA, not in England, or Scotland, etc. Your interview was interesting, but very obvious you want to paint this president as another Augusto Pinochet, when in reality i don’t see you showing the riots literally setting female police officers on fire, or striking officers in motorbikes to then proceed to kick them and hit them with stones and sticks (mobs against one or two officers). In fact, to those criminals, they don’t even shoot them with real bullets. And when you refer in other news about people that are taken prisoners: did you happen to mention that they were disobeying curfew? (and when you ask “why a curfew”, i say are you kidding me? did you not see the out of control riots? what would you have done?!). It is time the news show all sides of the stories.

It is offensive for Mr. Pinera to talk as if he and his kind have grown the economy of Chile in a way that is even remotely fair. The people of Chile have been robbed of their opportunity to share the wealth of Chile by corrupt people, Mr. Pinera is only one. You might read and reflect a little to ascertain what bias lurks inside your perspective. You may learn there is something more than violence behind millions of people asking for change. Have you asked yourself how many of the millions are acting violently and how many are just showing they see the hypocrisy of Mr. Pineras and many others,word and actions? You might also reflect on what change in history has come from non-violent action? The answer to that is rarely.

    As a president you have done nothing, people want someone who can do something for them. Population want a good leader. Not a taker like you.

    I'm living in Chile and I can say that there is no such as an organized and a foreign influence force pulling the people to march against the government, we are all really angry, we are really fed up. Most of us don't know anything about right or left wings, all we know is that we have to pay for everything each day more and more while foreign corporations are beginning to be owner of all we have, even ower water has sold to a Spain company, and this so far as I know, no country has privatized the water before, THE WATER! Can you believe that!!. In my country, even the air that we breathe could be privatized if it were possible.

      I live in a country that has both private and publicly own water companies. There are provisions and laws they have to abide by, but someone has to provide the treatment service!

    • @aweostalker
      @aweostalker 4 роки тому

      The problem in my country is not treatment service or things like that, the problem is that there are regions without water because there are foreign companies extracting it for their business. One example is Petorca province, with constant drought problems because a german avocado producer extracted the water till the point to dry completely a river, it happens because the law in the Constitution allows then to have rights over the water to extract it from a specific point of the river, the people don't have rights to compel the German company to share water from some of their many reservoirs, structure co-financed by the state, all this is for the economic progress the say. The constitution was redacted in a dictatorship government in 1980. The same case happend whith the cuper, litio an so on and so on

      michael villalon , i hear you. Where I live (in the west of the USA, in the desert) we have our rivers sharing the water with other two states that don’t even build their own reservoirs to supply their own water (in our State we have built several reservoirs to have water in the Summers and we live more in the desert than they do), some parts where our water goes is to parts of northern California where they do have more abundant water but they do not want to build reservoirs to “preserve” the natural environment, etc. Water rights are not a problem just in the southern part of Chile, they are a problem in lots of places.

      michael villalon water was privatised in England and Wales in the 80s and it hasn’t been an issue. Chile has many issues to solve, but your point may not be the best example.
      And unfortunately there has been organised violence with rioters and looters destroying SMEs, public and private property and even killing people. I don’t care if this is influence from left-wing parties from abroad or not, but the violence has to stop to allow the county to recover and prosper again for everyone’s sake!

      @@PMGW7 there is a big difference, in my country, the private companies don't take care of the sanitary issues they just use the water for their own business, in my example, the state co-finance water reservoirs for the foreign company and not for the people with drought problems. unfortunately, there is just one way left, the devil's way, the violence is just a consequence of decades of patience, pacifist and silence resignation, but not anymore, right now the awoke people fight and obviously, the dominant class put a formidable resistance with a herculean arm of his armed dogs against the monumental human wave that trembling the rag as an extinction flag destroying all the buildings and symbols of his misery.
