Michelle Bachelet

Who was that and what happened yesterday?

Well, Michelle Bachelet, she was emphatically pro-abortion all the way to birth.

She was pro-gender ideology.

She was pro-everything that we are not.

And the center left tried to accommodate to this.

For example, Michelle Bachelet, who was a socialist president in Chile, incorporated the Communist Party and some elements of the student movement in one of her presidencies to try to calm this criticism from the left.

But it was impossible to do.

There was a huge student movement that was incredibly courageous in the fights against repression.

So this is very relevant to today's stories.

As some of you listeners might be aware that UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, has been planning to go to Uyghur homeland, East Turkestan.

And they're doing exactly what Juhailin was expecting the local people to do, cleaning up.

Getting everything in order, lining up, showing some rosy picture, essentially a Potemkin village.

Okay.

So last week, Michelle Bachelet, she pulled out of the running.

She was number three or four when we first started a campaign against her because she was the worst of the worst.

She was an ideologue on the side of abortion to birth, the transgenderism, the gay marriage in every nation.

I think it's time it started all the way at the top.

And I think both Ms. Grinspan, Ms. Brinkett, and to some extent, Ms. Michelle Bachelet, I think they all have a good chance of becoming the Secretary General.

So let's wait and see who ultimately takes over this, what they call the most impossible job.

Yeah, yes, Raja, absolutely.

If we compare it, for example, to Colombia and Peru, which both had elections and inaugurated their presidents this summer, they joined even faster and before Chile did in September.

At the same time, back in Chile, the decision to formally join and become more than an observer has drawn criticism from opposition lawmakers and even from two former presidents, Gabriel Boric and Michelle Bachelet.

So tell me, what's at the heart of Chile's divide over joining the shield? And why did it take Chile so long to join?

And here, you have two main reasons.

What was the lesson from that, and what impact do you think that it had on their reputation? What impact do you think it had on the culture?

Since return to democracy in nineteen ninety, I think Chile had essentially left-wing governments up until two thousand and ten, which was when we had our, our first kind of more right-wing government under Sebastian Piñera, and then it flipped back more left wing under Bachelet and, and then flipped back again to Sebastian Piñera.

So in Chile, just a bit of context, presidents can only have one term at a time.

They're allowed two terms in total of four years, but they can't have consecutive terms.

So what happens is the country flip-flop between kind of center-left under Bachelet and center-right under Sebastian Piñera.

After the pandemic, the choice was between Gabriel Boric, who for probably Chilean standards and US standards particularly, would be seen as kind of like far left.

The European standards, it'd be like more left of center.

If you get more people out of poverty, they'll spend more.

With seven candidates still in the race after the withdrawal of Chile's Michelle Bachelet last month, and after five straw polls in the Security Council, a clear frontrunner has yet to emerge.

Daniel Forti is the head of United Nations Affairs at the International Crisis Group.

The former head of the UN Trade Agency has maintained a slim but noticeable separation from the other candidates, but clearly she has not separated herself enough from the pack to leave council members and the wider UN membership.
