5:34 pm
was feeling hopeful syphilis and. i guess this is almost a year after october 18th and the beginning of the social outbreak in chile people 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 in plenty 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 or. unpacking she has 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.
5:35 pm

5:36 pm
york studying a master of creative writing good to have you and carlos. hello i'm carlos drummond i'm all for journalists writer them specialists in finance economics and politics and i'm talking to you from developer lisa area good to have a color as i am looking at a headline from the new york times and 12 months ago chilean president responding to protests promises to address economic woes so that was about 12 months ago that economists call us how did he do 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
5:37 pm
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 possibility to take some money from depression accounts from the private pension system which was created by the 2 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 the very few all to rich 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 were so young and they had a very good idea of what they want the protests if they brought and they cover so
5:38 pm
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 you need from your government what would you say. i mean. we need real changes we are like really tired of these ever know konstam demand they do is they're trying to port in their very big want or a country. we are in a very unequal country we have problems in almost every aspect and a scholar say. there has been very illegal herb's to the people during this pandemic for giving an example and even now i get access to these help so 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
5:39 pm
government we are dying of the system we need to start over but even if 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 of that's also part of the population but are benefits get benefits from these people. you know on the trip or sound that cost the world or they are against these changes $100.00 do you understand the people who are against changes it doesn't just afraid that chile is not going to be recognizable from the chile that they grew up in i think you can go to their situation. taking all the difference but you go. to why. did you set up minority our. they have.
5:40 pm
last names and they all leave grows by in 3 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 their dictator 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 to over drawn not 10 so. 30 years later more than 30 years later people are still asking where is central to their more prosy that the majority has had their power not our west the minority and that's that's
5:41 pm
a main issue and for that you need to rewrite the constitution because. any any issue will. crash against this war that. forbidden change. connel serious crippling yet he's no. 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 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 hunter said instance certain in a country of
5:42 pm
a dictatorship. in the context of what would naomi klein call a shock doctrine you know so what could we expect now because that how i 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 who are 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
5:43 pm
charge. the guys who designed public policy the guys who privatized everything almost everything the guys who expose the chilean publisher to environmental disaster in etc etc etc so now what set people off last october 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 is active bridge etc this is 110 i would like to add that. when he says state she stirred. a profound meaning other than ocracy and in 1988 this logan a plebiscite of people that didn't want to be nurtured to continue power was they have been nice to their happiness is coming. and what that mean when he was them enough happiness and they happiness is not just their right
5:44 pm
to vote their happiness priority in the mind of many was to recover what we had before to the datasheet and that it was a constant gaining of rides so to all 19th century. to all 20 century and. not just a gender so. all that was lost health education. barrick pension everything was lost and never to a government so that people lost patience so let me share this with you because we're you know 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
5:45 pm
is red i'm going to put this this is really a festival 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 $2000000000.00 worth of. job creation creating new jobs how will this help or will this help for me still years trying. to fix in their real problem worse to go in the subsidiary seems down in wish the states just have our supply mentary role can into remain in the can i mean so now in the middle part and then me there's not only. jobs the last thing. people mostly i'm there are their incomes also there was an increase of their prices of many themes of the. in the milf upon them with people with no europe the state can do anything at
5:46 pm
all because or see if them our constitution allows. these people the harassed by were. the well. where they have other 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 that neal is 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 a.c.c. in new york they could have committed 3 times that amount in march in april when they were just they were sticking to that narrative austerity was terribly we cannot spend more because we don't have the resources that was not true that was absolutely freak in this it is a government is committed to low taxation for the reach cetera etc etc so and it's
5:47 pm
the outcome as a little understood of 30 years of 40 years of neo liberal policies that deprive the 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 i say. as a senior said we had to resort to our own pension funds and now we're talking or. yeah sekret up aeration with a cigarette and. i would like also to defy the is trying to an economy to an economy moves because the dispassion farms they mention fun. huge amount of capital. distribute every day between their reach companies
5:48 pm
which in turn then lend their money for example that received some money from the pension bank and lift their money to their workers to. a betty high rate of interest so there is no real. companies that you can say chile is broke you seeing some kind of intelligence or adding value to their products chile is leading. childers of the workers. and they workers don't get anything in return does nothing reality and approve is that when workers retire 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 going to me boost so we don't do workers and we don't do workers' money nothing happens. so let me just show you what the president
5:49 pm
of chile was saying about the new measures that he's bringing in colors it's 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 presidency. with this lot together with the gallant minimum income stressing the solidarity pillar of pensions and unemployment insurance we continue to improve as social protection so obviously he is aware of what the issue is is this and not let me show you 2 clips of the presidential a with me 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 a guy asked some of the human rights abuses that were happening so october 29000 is a 1000000. but bill said that really. is not anything or anybody who's willing to use violence and crime without any limit even when it
5:50 pm
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 live in democracy with freedom and in peace that doubler too little there were no one there to 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 cooperation 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
5:51 pm
there be any growth and development absent social justice. kind us what did you write in your notebook. and writing about this construed narrative about the enemy within you that's very there's a bridge that's very easy and cheap to do too because it doesn't stressed 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 their business no and you and your right to your resume about 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 a bubbly health workers being attacked by police force and that's the kind of dialogue he wants that's the one thing that's sort of unity national unity that
5:52 pm
hugh said trying to achieve. we need answers and now we get there and you i mean i would say also about there are legal measures that have been accustomed to announce you know be be kept lines and a large amount but then when you see how their money is distributed it they're right right immense that are. laid out for people to apply it's very difficult to get the 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 their words that he's saying are going to apply in reality ok that's going to be a long time i guess i'm going to get you to work hard and i want instant parts is
5:53 pm
because you cheat has questions for you at least thank you is cheney a developed country when you still suffering from these big demonstrations and protests cecilia couldn't answer that one. for me that i was living in a devil up country is more like a dream or a lie like all around for me if like suncream paper not in the radical al hunt i would like you 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 gains true rustam for creating a new constitution a world because the option out there plebiscite people get elected to write the constitution and that's the whole real people presenting the people that has been left out to now quality right the constitution. i want to
5:54 pm
bring in have yeta because we're looking at hope for the future a lot of the young that we spoke to really hopeful is a take the 25th referendum they're very excited about it and decide to have a yes we can have the 1st one to share 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 all this change in stool read drought and you democracy and you can. see it but can a constitution do that it's your 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 chile can a referendum on a new constitution cannot cannot give you everything that you want. i think if i heard there is
5:55 pm
a 1st step to pushing in the sea if they're not it's not for me i believe i lurk in the people in the field if there is more than anybody to go parties i thing they say we are referendum we have people not related of starting to a political party of right emmanuel goes to daughter and the band. not been left up. some man prost there is our problem our wanting to buy you got me with a prayer and how do i really would love you to listen to trey's or because to raise or she bases her home on the history of chile that perhaps this referendum could be a milestone in chinese history and have listened to reason 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
5:56 pm
october will be voting to change the political class situation that was a post of 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 privy to change of the political class situation 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 there is so much possibility what is your gut telling you about the upcoming referendum on october 25th. but it all depends what action but i hope if he wins that on the bench and i'll constitution convention i think. that is the real pursuit of this signing a new political system and i think you cannot and concentration of well if you cannot and concentration of power if you read this tribute to power if you give
5:57 pm
power to the people then the outcome of their political public policy will be different and i agree it's not the end of the it's the beginning up there oh we don't know that these not possible to start working right so i have one minute to share between the sea and colors cecelia you hope this referendum in a sentence is will. we continue this going through the same but because i can then anyone can see it's them and i can't stand to hear green yet i am. says he is 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 non-economist the economists we were not the economy is really going to use the word lobbyist for big money for the capitalist this is you are not. you know my we
