7:33 am
travel and to spend that we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter. i am fairly ok you are watching this story do you remember last october when there were demonstrations over in 8 there were a violent reactions from the police that demonstrators were absolutely determined to bring about social change in negotiations with the government have resulted in a referendum for a new constitution and that referendum is on hold with the 25th a little earlier we spoke to protest an activist dar not talk torah and he was feeling how for civilization. i don't see these huge almost a year after october 18th and the beginning of the social outbreak in chile people
7:34 am
in chile continue to fight for the demands of the rebellion and to end with the inheritance of the pinochet dictatorship facing the plebiscite there are many of us who continue to denounce the repression of pinions government and the agreement for peace and the new constitution that was signed by the traditional parties of the 30 years behind the people's backs and that guarantees implicity for the repressors that's why we believe that we must continue to trust in our fighting forces voting i approve but fighting for a 3rd alternative a constituent assembly free and sovereign so that the working people are the ones who decide who gets the unpacking she lays upcoming referendum on the stream today i'm sure you have to take jump into the comments section of your new chief and you too can be part of our conversation. and i guess good to see you see you welcome back to the screen you were here last year as a protester and now we're going to be talking about the upcoming referendum what's
7:35 am
happened in a year to see to tell everybody here. yes it's nice to be here again. actually i continue for their fame to watch yes much just right before you know when they meet problem. i'm actually on your nice talking to you are all concepts here on the n.c.p. or from the capital. also i'm part of i don't that and you will and i work in the case you know overall but issues especially by and internet. so nice to have you will come to the stream introduce yourself to the world. thank you i am alexander i'm not journalists also i have our own courier as our writer investigative journalist and they are currently in new york studying a master creative writing good to have you and callous. hello i'm
7:36 am
carlos drummond i'm all for journalist writer them specialists in finance economics and politics and i'm talking to you from developer lisa area good to have me because i am looking at a headline from the new york times and 12 months ago chilean president responding to protests promises to address the economic woes so that was about 12 months ago that economists call us how did he deal how did the government. well it did poorly because when the pandemic started in the economic outcome was visible they stuck to the so-called austerity narrative without anyone asking them to so direction was very poor. it is. it kept people without any significant aid from the government in terms of distress so it forced people to ask new measures and one of these measures was extracted reluctantly from government which is the
7:37 am
possibility to take some money from depression accounts from the private pension system which was created by the teacher ship in which is one of the main aspect of the economic model of inequality that is currently in the middle of the problem of what will be a put into test in the referendum what will be the outcome of this model of capital accumulation within the very few very few all to reach in this country and all the people have make a living out of the status quo. i'm just thinking about how many of the people that we spoke to for this show and there were so many and they was so young and they had a very good idea of what they wanted to protest a very broad and they cover so many things but cecilia as somebody who has been protesting and only been stopped by covert 19 if you could clarify what it is that
7:38 am
you need from your government what would you say. i mean. we need the real changes we are like really tired of these ever know konstam one would do is they're trying to port in the very big one for a country. we are in a very unequal concretely we hop problems in almost every aspect of. them werry illegal hurts to their people during this pandemic or given an example and even now i get access to this helps i have to take money from my pension funds like a lot of people do so we are still like really up for response from their government we are tired of this fierce then we need to start over but even if
7:39 am
there's a lot of people asking for changes in the cost to torture there's also a really big part of their population that. if they really care of chain years are over that's also part of the population but our benefits get benefits from these people. you know on the trip or sound that cost the world for they are against these changes $100.00 do you understand the people who are against changes it does just afraid that chile is not going to be recognizable from the chile that they grew up in. i think you can compare a 2 and situation taking all the difference by do go to the institution to me one where you work the other take your you sat minority. they have. last names and they all leave grows by in 3
7:40 am
neighborhoods in santiago and they concentrate all types of power they concentrate economic up power they concentrate their political power and also this social power and the constitution there was. weed and then they did their ship managed to keep that in place even though we have to say the years of democracy actually today is the only every any very sunny the last really see to let me say we have $988.00 to over drawn. so. 30 years later more than 30 years later people are still asking where is central to their market that the majority has had their power not our where the minority and that's that's a main issue and for that you need to rewrite the constitution because.
7:41 am
any any issue will. crash against this war or that. forbidden change. connel serious crippling yet he's no. senior i will yeah i would like to come back to the resistance to change which is very very delicate issue because it's normal it's expected will that people will be afraid of a situation when you are used to a system for throughout like let's say the last 40 years. and one of the main. the main. lies of argument is that this system created wealth that it decision was. able to sue to to get a momentum of high growth in the very 1st stages of this neo liberal experiment which was in acted as a 100 said instance certain in a country of a dictatorship. in the context of what would naomi klein call a shock doctrine you know so what would we expect now because that how i
7:42 am
economic growth in the early stages of the experiment it just lost steam elastin is through the ninety's in after each successive recession the country was . was growing slower and slower too until almost stagnation and who did the defenders of the model blame the teachers the workers were not saving enough we were spending too much in who did. who did indoors this is a spending spree of the middle class the system the banks you know and so so we are the the blame were to blame what happened and not the guys who are in charge. the guys who designed public policy the guys who privatized everything almost everything the guys who expose the chilean publisher to environmental
7:43 am
disaster in etc etc etc so now what set people off last october as everyone knows was a small increase in the metro fare but actually wood was a state was the lack the lack of trust for the situations whether government was active bridge etc this is 110 i would like to add that. what he says states he stole. a profound meaning other than ocracy and in 1988 this logan of a plebiscite of people that didn't want to be nurtured to continue power was they have been nice their happiness is coming. and what that mean when he was them enough happiness and they happiness is not just their right to vote their happiness priority in the mind of many was to recover what
7:44 am
we had before did it take the ship and that's it was a constant gaining of rides told through all 19th century to all 20 century and. not just. so. all that was lost health education. barrick pension everything was lost and never to a government so that people. so let me share this with you because what you what you're saying very clearly is there is a disparity to say the least between the wealthy and she lay and everybody else have a look here this is this is a headline is from september she lay announced 2000000000 dollar package to help with cover and create new jobs so see here is this going i'm saying colors noting is red i'm going to put this this is really a personal because her piece of what she needed change in her country was very long to see where you start and then kind of you pick up is 2000000000 dollars worth of
7:45 am
. job creation creating new jobs how will this help will this help for me still years trying. to fix in their real problem worse to go in the subsidiary see if down in wish the states just have our supply mentary are all can into remain in the can i mean so now in the middle part and then me that's not only. jobs the last thing. people mostly and there are their incomes also there was an increase of their prices of many themes of the horror in the milf upon them with people with no europe the state can do anything at all because or see if them our constitution allows that and. these people the harassed the why were the the well. where they have other
7:46 am
scores from earlier and they're given trying to get clear and also a lot of fake meals to be a workout for the workers trying to not change the system so or for me or me or if you like a mark like it's not really because of me. it's too late and too little it should have been done in march in april they had the sovereign bonnie issues in the f.c.c. in new york they could have committed 3 times that amount in march in april when they were they were sticking to that narrative austerity was charity we cannot spend more because we don't have the resources that was not true that was absolutely fake and this is a government is committed to low taxation for the reach cetera etc etc so and it's the outcome as a lake under state of 30 years of 40 years of neoliberal policies that deprive the
7:47 am
government the state of the tools to address the sort of crisis in terms of distress the people the average family the working class family even the middle class families are on their own absolutely so that that's why we had to as. fast as he said we had to resort to our old pension funds. and now we're talking. second operation with a cigarette and. i would like also to defy the is trying to an economy julianne economy mosques because of this pension funds their pension fund. huge amount of capital is distribute every day between their reach companies which in turn then lend their money for example that received some money from their pension back and lift their money to their workers to. a very high rate
7:48 am
of interest so there is no real. companies that you could say today is broke you seeing some kind of intelligence or adding value to their product julie is leaving. childers are the workers and their workers don't get anything in return thus that's the reality and the prove is that when workers retire and there are these pension because of the pandemic in because the government didn't do anything they spend the money back under system pain they don't beals the credits that they have and they couldn't leave hoost so we don't do workers and we don't do work just money nothing happens e.g. so let me just show you what the prisoner of of chile was saying about the new measures that he's bringing in color says too little too late and on twitter and i'm going to use the translation because my spanish is my mouth all right so the
7:49 am
presidency. with this law together with the gallon tea minimum income stressing the solidarity pillar of pensions and unemployment insurance we continue to improve our social protection so obviously he is aware of what the issue is. instead and now let me share do you do you 2 clips of the president chile with you the 1st one was last year almost a year ago when he was pushing back at the protesters on the street and the world was looking aghast at some of the human rights abuses that were happening so october $29000.00 is imminent. but they said that really. it's not anything or anybody who's willing to use violence and crime without any limits even when it means loss of human life who are willing to burn our hospitals our metro stations our supermarkets with the only goal of causing as much harm as possible to all chileans they are at war with all well meaning chileans who want to
7:50 am
live in democracy with freedom and in peace that the looked a little bit well i wouldn't get him. and that was our share and then this year 90 general assembly united nations general assembly is when all the leaders get together or they did it virtually this year because of covert 19. a slightly different tone let's have a listen. we have to learn from the lessons of the past lessons that have tutors the value of unity dialogue corporation under green mint when all is said and done house divided against itself cannot stand we also have to act as i've said with a sense of urgency because there is no time to be squandered we are firmly convinced that there can be no social justice absent growth and development nor can there be any growth and development absent social justice. carlos what did you
7:51 am
write in the notebook. i'm writing about this construed narrative about the enemy within you that's very that's very very easy and cheap to do too because it doesn't stress all the shortcomings of this current situation in this government they don't take responsibility for what's happening it's it's them it's the enemy within they are destroying this country and they with this know and you and you're right if you read to me about it did the president asked change a little bit ditto no because of his discourse agenda but the finally what's going on is is this as we see right now. but they're bubbly health workers being attacked by police force and that's the kind of dialogue he wants that's the one thing that sort of unity national unity that hugh said try to achieve. we need answers you know we get there now you i mean we say also about there are legal
7:52 am
measures that have been accustomed to announce you know be kept lines and. then when you see how their money is distributed it they're right right immense that are. laid out for people to occupy it's very difficult to get that benefit and there are. wire of the money for example that was supposed to go to a small business went to big business so people it's really difficult to believe what he's saying that they were that you saying are going to apply in reality ok that's the last that creativity a long time i guess i'm going to get you to work hard and i want instant arts is because you tube has questions for you. thank you is chile a developed country where he's chile's suffering from these big demonstrations and
7:53 am
protests cecilia couldn't answer that one for me that i wore absolutely not devil up country is more like a dream or a lie in play all around me. if like suncream paper not in the radical and a 100 i would like to take this you tube question from old green thank you al green politicians in chile have the worst evaluation with the public system why would she aims to rustam for creating a new constitution. oh well because the option out there plebiscite people get elected to write the constitution and that's the whole that we'll people re presenting. the people that has been left out to now qualities write the constitution. i want to bring in it have yet cause we're looking at hopes for the future
7:54 am
a lot of the young that we spoke to are really hopeful these are take the 25th referendum they're very excited about it and decide to have yes we can have their 1st 100 shap are going to use them we have gender parity around the work and the presence of a new term people we are really hopeful with a lot of this change in stool read drought and new democracy and you can. see it but can a constitution do that it you list was so long that you actually started to smile because you know it was a really long list of what you needed changed in july a can of referendum on a new constitution cannot cannot give you everything that you want i think if the 3rd step is the 1st step to pushing in the system well it's not the last me i believe a lot in the people in the seat affairs more than any political parties i thing
7:55 am
they say we are a friend are we have people not related sorry to a political party of right and i knew it and advanced but. not very last stop. it doesn't mean crossed there is our problem are going to buy you that he was a player. and i really would love you to listen to trey's or because theresa she cheap bases her hope on. the history of chile that perhaps this referendum could be a milestone in chinese history and 7 isn't too easy. these protests were dangerous and violent place is not because of the protesters but because of the harsh and violent police repression that we suffered in the streets this 21st of october will be voting to change the political constitution that was opposed in the day to ship in chile in the late 1900 s. most of the jump people and most of the country hopes that the referendum least
7:56 am
approving a change of the political constitution and that hopefully this change is made by a constitutional convention which will mean that we will be able to choose 100 percent of the people in charge of making this change happen. and under this so much hope that so much possibility what is your gut telling you about the upcoming referendum on october the 25th when you know the best. option but i hope we if we use their conventional constitution convention i think. that is the real pursuit of this signing a new political system and i think you cannot at gusen creation of well if you cannot and concentration of power if you read this tribute to power if you give power to the people then the outcome of their political public policy will be
7:57 am
different and i agree it's not the end of the it's the beginning up there wrote me though that these not possible to start working right so i have one minute to share between to see and colors to celia you hope for this referendum in a sentence is will it. we continue this going for them but because i am of them any more than 3 of them and i can ask them to hear opinion i am. cecilia's over it carlos. i hope this is the end of the technocratic order when when we separated politics from economics and then and we gave all the power to none economist economists we were not economist real economy is the word lobbyist for big money for the calculus is you're not singing it. you know really appreciate you i should always say that there's never enough come to say should never have time for a conversation on the street i'm lucky very quickly on instagram at 1630 g.m.t.
