"We have come to a state that protects people ... Towards a public policy increasingly ... the economic crisis has been to highlight the importance of what has been the main seal my Government: Social Protection "
I chose these words of the last public accounts of President Michelle Bachelet, I think both reflect the meaning of his speech as also the hallmark of his government. Gone are the sour transantiago and penguin revolution, which led to Andrew of Allamand raised his theory of eviction, an issue that now seems so unfortunate that suggested that a woman could not lead the destinies of the country. Today the President with almost 70% approval silenced the voices of the opposition but also from the machismo of his own coalition.
His speech on May 21 focused on what is the core of his government, Social Security, but to make progress in this regard, said the handling of the economy that has been the executive in his time and especially the made by the Minister Hacienda Andrés Velasco. The latter was sharply criticized the first 2 years of governance by the national political class and there were many who yearn for the former Minister Nicolas Eyzaguirre hyperventilated, but it was his coalition allies whipped the more acidic because of its austerity the case of public expenditure in the context of high copper prices. Explicitly why the President emphasized the management of the economy, which has allowed better cope with an economic crisis of great magnitude. In this sense, for the rest of government is remarkable fiscal stimulus plan of $ 4,000 million, the transitional phase to stamp to credit, prepayment income tax 2010 operation in September 2009, submitted to Congress for reform to the Capital Market 3 in June. Likewise, the President noticed the Pro Credit will increase by $ 3,600 million resources now offers the financial system.
In short, the President in his speech yesterday marked an agenda that will promote economic empowerment in the context of global crisis, but without departing from its agenda of social protection.
A couple of years ago, politicians from left and right for many years indicated that a woman would not rule in Chile again, governance based on a responsible fiscal policy has shown that a woman and several others may govern a country which is still very sexist.
