Anonymous asked: where will you/do you go to college?
lucasveg asked: no creo que se unan excluyendo a la udi... solo que cada vez son mas cercanos. En realidad no se que va a hacer la DC, nunca he podido entenderlos. Ademas, ellos SI tienen problemas internos, ya que existen dos bandos, uno mas centro izquierda y otro centro derecha (que se a impuesto ultimamente). Y hace algunos años se les fueron algunas "figuras importantes", que formaron el...
lucasveg asked: la concerta tiene problemas internos: no saben para donde ir. En estos momentos parece que no saben a quien "potenciar". La DC cada vez mas se acerca a la alianza, y la concerta esta apunto de incluir al PC. Ademas, cada uno quiere ser candidato: Lagos Jr, Toha, Velasco, gomez, etc, por lo que la figura de Bachelet como candidata se ve dificil (aunque muy probable, pero sin tanto apoyo...

Myself: What do you think the Concertacion is...
mellamanbrauni:
Hmm that’s a tough question to answer, because the Concerta has lower approval ratings than Piñera (as far as I know). So obviously, in my opinion, they shouldn’t nominate someone like Bachelet or another rank and file Concerta politician for 2014, simply because people in Chile are just as tired of the Concerta as they are of the right-wing. I think they need to find someone...
News
Well, back in July Piñera determined that his Minister of Education (and old nemesis) Joaquin Lavin was too unpopular to have around. So in a massive cabinet switch up Joaquin got dumped and replaced by a man named Felipe Bulnes. On Thursday (the 29th) another cabinet switch up occurred and now Bulnes is out and replaced by a man named Harald Beyer. Beyer is an economist with zero political...

Percentages
Recently I was mulling over the percentage by which Allende won the 1970 election. It was 36.63%. At least for Gringo eyes, this is an unimaginably tiny plurality. When I see that number applied to a national election, what I immediately think of is a landslide victory in which the winner took over 60%, which does sometimes happen even in the States where elections are generally close. So I...

For My Recent Anon:
In Pudahuel, the names of three brothers - Eduardo, Rafael, and Pablo Vergara - became legend. Raised by working class parents who were active in the Catholic social action movement, the boys were drawn into leftists politics as teenagers after the coup. “We used to pray together before we went to protests,” recalled their mother, Luisa Toledo, a woman with iron-gray hair and deeply...

Entonces porque nos importa la guerra civil española?
Than why do we care about the Spanish Civil War?
Perdoname
Si no uso este tumblr mucho, hay eleciones en los EEUU pronto. Les pido aun mas perdonas si Santorum gana
Please forgive me if I wind up only watching the news until the Iowa caucus instead of blogging.
Especially strong apologies go out to Latin America if Santorum somehow takes the cake.

Valeria Silva heads home on a mission to help solve a strike by students that has effectively hobbled public education in Chile.
St. Paul schools Superintendent Valeria Silva’s first teaching job was at a small public school in an impoverished suburb of Santiago, Chile. Using one chalkboard and a handful of tattered textbooks, she taught a class of 45 second-graders. For lunch, she served...

Our education is under attack! What do we do? Fight back!” chanted high school students defending their beloved Mexican American Studies program in a Tucson, Arizona, school board meeting in April. They are not the only students fighting to defend education. Almost everywhere, education is under attack, and students across the Americas are fighting back in so many places that it would be...

¿QUE PASO EN EL PUERTO?
Valparaiso marco una de las zonas mas movilizadas del pais, que alcanzo a tener al total de sus universidades publicas en estado de paralizacion durante meses. “En algun momento lo mantuvimos solos - el movimiento - mientras que en Santiago todavia no se decidian por las timas”, recordo Janny Lobos, estudiante de la Pontifica Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso.

May no one ever write about the movements of 2011 with the acid-tongued nihilistic disdain Joan Didion reserved for everything ‘68.
