THE ELECTIONS


According to the latest poll, one of the most widely accepted presidential candidate is Sebastian Piñera, who is an economist, investor and politician. He was a republic’s senator between 1990 and 1998 presidential candidate in 2005 and was defeated in a run-off by Michelle Bachelet. Today is the representative of the right wing (coalition for change) and is part of the political party National Renewal.

Another candidate is Eduaro Frei Ruiz-Tagle, who is a civil engineer and chilean politician, son of the late president Eduardo Frei Montalva. He was president of Chile in the period between 1994 and 2000 and currently serves as senator representing "Los Rios" Region for the period 2006-2014. His presidential term was to seal the deepening of the model of open regionalism, so, Chile achieved associate membership to the Southern Common Market (Mercosur) And began negotiations that led in the following government the signing of two separate treaties: free trade with countries like the U.S. and China and economies like the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). Currently Frei is the presidential candidate of the ruling Coalition of Parties for Democracy of the current presidential elections. On April 5, 2009 Frei Ruiz-Tagle defeated Gomez senator, who is a member of the Radical Social Democratic Party, in primary elections organized to define a single candidate of the Coalition, the first one obtain 64% versus a 36% of Gomez.

Finally, it is Marco Enríquez-Ominami son of the historical leader of the Movimiento de Izquierda Revolucionaria (MIR), the doctor Miguel Enriquez. His adoptive father is the senator Carlos Ominami. Until June 12, 2009 he played as a member of the Socialist Party of Chile, after this he left the Party to establish its independent candidacy for president of the republic of Chile 2009.

Personally none of these candidates represents me, but before a possible election of Piñera, anyway I prefer to vote for Frei, as at least he's got the experience to lead a country, however, I think Marco Enriquez-Ominami not have the capacity to lead a country , while Piñera is able to control firms, but not all Chileans.

  1. Very good, Rodolfo.

    I`d only say that some if your sentences are too long, though.

    Also, you didn´t answer the task in full.

    You get 1.5 points,
