An article from The Guardian about...the elections in Chile???? Nice...

Hello my fellas, in this day I'm going to talk about an article from the Guardian, an English news portal...


I choose news about the elections in Chile, with the results of this: The election of student leaders.

In this Sunday, the elections in Chile are choosing a president, congress members and regional counsellors; but the elections of the congress members had a surprise: Four ex-student leaders of the student movement in 2011 are elected. The new congress members are Camila Vallejos, Karol Cariola, Giorgio Jackson and Gabriel Boric.

Camila Vallejos is elected by the district of La Florida, in the Metropolitan Region, with a majority in the votes, being the 1st majority in her district. She was the president of the Universidad de Chile's Students Federation (FECh) in 2010/2011 she represents the Communist Party, who have a coalition with other parties, making the Nueva Mayoría coalition, the parties of the left side of the politics in Chile. She said "We're going to celebrate in the streets of La Florida", like a representative act for the people who choose her.

Another case is Giorgio Jackson, who is elected by the district of Santiago Centro, in the Metropolitan Region, with a majority in the votes, like Camila Vallejos. He was the president of the Universidad Catolica's Students Federation (FEUC) in 2010/2011. He doesn’t have any representation of any party, he's an independent, but he represents the same coalition of Camila, the Nueva Mayoría coalition. He had found the votes of the students and young people to represent in the congress, and he made it.

In other case, in the Metropolitan Region too, is Karol Cariola. She is a Communist Party member, like Camila Vallejos, and she was the president of the Universidad de Concepcion's Students Federation (FEUdeC) in 2010/2011. She is elected by the district of Recoleta, Independencia and Conchali, in the Metropolitan Region. She represents the Nueva Mayoría coalition too.

However, a particular situation is lived in Punta Arenas, in the Austral Region of Magallanes, in the South of Chile; because the candidate Gabriel Boric, an ex-president of the Universidad de Chile's Students Federation (FECh) in 2011/2012, is elected in the district of Punta Arenas with the 1st place in votes. He's an independent candidate and he doesn't have any coalition, he was choosing without no political helps and favors, breaking the pronostics.

This 4th cases are a signal of a new age of the politics in Chile, is the representation of the new faces and the unhappy people who don't believe in the old politics and his members; it's the evidence of the renovation.




Bye bye...
