ADOLFO GARCÉS (*) SPECIALFOR THE OBSERVER
Some compare it to the leaders of the populist branch of the tree budded Latin American left. He, however, says he wants to be like Lula. Maybe. But drawing on his brief trip to Chile, I argue why I perceive a strong parallel between José Mujica and Michelle Bachelet.
Let's start with the obvious. The two were ministers presidencies popular trails, such as Ricardo Lagos and Vázquez particularly well evaluated by the public. High levels of sympathy generated by their efforts ministerial candidates they became sung in the competition for the presidential nomination ofar a direct and popular discourse, which drew a crack in the classic elitism of the Chilean political system. The priority on fiscal responsibility is lessened. Instead, revived the emphasis on solidarity and the struggle for equality that has always distinguished the socialist political movements. Each time you review these features of Bachelet and took note of his, so often mentioned, "closeness" to the people, I find it impossible not to evoke Mujica. He, too, that half-century in politics, has managed to be the most unconventional of all Uruguayan political leaders. As Bachelet, Mujica has built his political profile from direct identification with the public, breaking political communication schemes haciendo emphasis on basic values of the script on the left.
course there are many important differences. I note only that I find most important. Bachelet took office with an agenda articulated in three areas (social protection, economic development and democratization), relatively modest, but well defined. Among other issues, the platform contained the following initiatives: social security reform, boosting pre-school teaching, extension of the health system, creation of a Ministry of Public Security and a Ministry of Environment, increased fiscal spending, reform policy (to increase voter turnout) and promotion of the rights of myto Political Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, UDELAR
