As we already anticipated in the Digital Political Barometer<\/a><\/span>, the conversation in social networks could anticipate many of the results, and it did not disappoint. With a sample of more than 350 thousand mentions, Jos\u00e9 Antonio Kast had the third majority in intention to vote, which reflects an increase over what marked in the emblematic polls. Effectively, the right-wing candidate came fourth in the overall result, drawing from the equation the surprise given by Beatriz S\u00e1nchez and her high percentage in third place.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Figure 1 ” show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” src=”https:\/\/ideasen.llorenteycuenca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/11\/Figure_01.png”] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=”Secci\u00f3n” fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” transparent_background=”off” background_color=”#00847d” allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” padding_mobile=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” make_equal=”off” use_custom_gutter=”off”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Fila”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”1.

Despite living in the United States, the former president always remained one of the political figures best evaluated by the public. Reason why, after the end of the term of Sebastian Pi\u00f1era (first right-wing government after the return to democracy), he returned to the country in March 2013 to become a candidate again for the presidency.<\/p>\n She was elected in primaries as a candidate of the political coalition of La Nueva Mayoria\u00a0\u00a0 (La Nueva Mayor\u00eda), formed by Concertacion and other parties of the left, obtaining a large majority of the votes in the presidential elections of 2013 and being reelected for a second term, which initiated on March 11, 2014.<\/p>\n If she had known all the inconveniences that she was going to face during her second period as president of Chile, it is quite likely that Michelle Bachelet would not have decided to accept the challenge. The various conflicts he has had to deal with, such as the Caval case, the departure of two of her key ministers such as those of the Interior (Rodrigo Pe\u00f1ailillo and Jorge Burgos), added to that of Alberto Arenas, her first finance minister (promoter of the Tax Reform in Chile) and the second in the same portfolio Rodrigo Vald\u00e9s (driver of the Pension Reform), added to Chile\u2019s constant natural disasters (fires, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions), among others, have made of her mandate an almost impossible mission.<\/p>\n She was beaten by citizen\u2019s approval, in fact, in the last survey of the Center for Public Studies (CEP)<\/a><\/span> of September-October 2017; the president had a 23 percent approval, having to deal with many concerns throughout her government, those that started from the beginning.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Figure 2 ” show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” src=”https:\/\/ideasen.llorenteycuenca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/11\/Figure_02-1.png”] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Texto” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n Today, months from the end of her term, Bachelet faces the end of a period of rule that was not without controversy and whose main result is the possibility of returning the government to the right wing with Sebastian Pi\u00f1era as Chile’s candidate for Vamos party.<\/p>\n Will it be the end of La Nueva Mayoria, as a political conglomerate that has historically ruled the country? What were the reasons for the party\u2019s decline in popularity among citizens? Family, internal and political conflicts made this second government, despite the controversial legacy of its reforms, remembered for the lack of clarity with which it addressed the country and a constant sense of disorder and a lack of progress.<\/p>\n And she has said it openly: she is not interested in returning to La Moneda in the future<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n “We will continue working until the last day of government to provide answers and solutions, in every corner of Chile, and respond to the needs of the people, because frankly it is the only true reason why a person like me can be in this position and, just in case, so that no one is afraid, I will not return\u201d.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”FALTA FOTO MICHELLE BACHELLET” alt=”Fuente: La Tercera (http:\/\/www.latercera.com)” title_text=”Fuente: La Tercera (http:\/\/www.latercera.com)” show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” src=”https:\/\/ideasen.llorenteycuenca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/11\/Imagen-A_UNO_857865-820×385.jpg”] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=”Secci\u00f3n” fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” transparent_background=”off” background_color=”#f9f9f9″ allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” padding_mobile=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” make_equal=”off” use_custom_gutter=”off”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Fila” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Primary elections: the preferential position of Sebastian Pi\u00f1era, the birth of Frente Amplio and the decline of La Nueva Mayoria ” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n The poor evaluation, made by Chilean society of Bachelet\u2019s second period, is publicly known. The 23 percent support obtained in the latest survey of the Center for Public Studies (CEP)<\/a><\/span> confirms what, for many in La Nueva Mayoria\u00a0\u00a0 (a conglomerate that governs along with the president), is difficult to digest: they did not meet the citizens\u2019 expectations.<\/p>\n Under this logic, a large part of the political parties that have a significant representation in the country were reorganized to present proposals that would replace Bachelet for the next elections.<\/p>\n The internal climate in La Nueva Mayoria, with ideological conflicts within the parties that comprise it, finally, interrupted Bachelet’s project, giving a sense of lack of capacity to govern and showing signs of disorder that all political opponents sought to take advantage of.<\/p>\n The opposition, represented by Chile Vamos, saw in the former President, Sebastian Pi\u00f1era, the right person to lead a new project towards La Moneda, after his first term as president, between the period of government of 2010 – 2014. Thus, bringing together the support of the Union Democrata Independiente (UDI), Renovacion Nacional (RN) and Evolucion Politica (Evopoli), to name the most important, and after conducting primary elections in which he was confronted by Manuel Jose Ossandon (senator RN Santiago Oriente) and Felipe Kast (representative of Evopoli and current deputy for Santiago), the entrepreneur was awarded the option of being the candidate of the right wing for the second time (see graph).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Figure 3 ” show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”on” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” src=”https:\/\/ideasen.llorenteycuenca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/11\/Figure_03.png”] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n Considered a favorite one in the presidential race according to the CEP, with 42.3 percent of support, Pi\u00f1era and his programmatic team began to design an action plan, which includes 62 proposals and he called it “Tiempos Mejores” (better times).<\/p>\n Gracias a cada uno de los chilenos que ayer vot\u00f3 por los #TiemposMejores<\/a>, por un Chile m\u00e1s libre, justo, pr\u00f3spero y solidario.
