This week on my blog I will trite about the presidential election, this year, 2009, Chile must choose a new president for the nation.
Since the election between Joaquin Lavin and Ricardo Lagos, results are so unclear, currently there are three candidates, all with a chance of advancing to second round, where alliances and political agreements become essential.
The candidate of the "Alliance for Change," which represents the right of our political spectrum, is Sebastian Piñera, an economist, investor and politician. This is not his first time in elections, in the past election he competed with Michelle Bachelet, loosing in second round. Also, it is called in some sectors, the chilean "berlusconi", due to their similarities with Italian President, both are major shareholders of popular soccer teams in their countrys, as well as an airline, media and other companies.
Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle represents the Coalition of Parties for Democracy, ruling coalition in Chile. He already was president once, between 1994 and 2000, where he sign treaties for free trade with China and U.S. He also participated in primarys against Juan Antonio Gomez, winning, however, these primaries were strongly criticized.
From the criticism against this primary came the candidacy of Marco Enriquez-Ominami, simbol of wear in the Coalition of party for democracy. He represent the dissatisfied sectors ofthis coalition, generating sympathy in the electorate. He is the son of Miguel Enriquez, the leader of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR), killed by the DINA, National Intelligence Agency of the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. He is currently deputy, and work as director of films and television.
Every time I had to vote, I voted null, in fact, thinking well, I dont know why I am registered on the electoral rolls, I think I will draw again on the ballot. However, if at a given moment the votes becomes decisive, I would vote for the left sector that I feel closest.
