A very tiny progress in Chile

Modest progress in Chile


SANTIAGO, Chile - Newly inaugurated President Michelle Bachelet said Monday that all Chileans older than 60 will immediately begin receiving free care at public hospitals.


She promised to create 800 new state-funded nursery schools during her four-year-term to benefit 25,000 children.


The president also said she plans to develop a foreign policy putting priority on relations with Latin American countries and stressing efforts to increase regional integration. She said she will make brief visits to Argentina and Uruguay next week.

I saw this a day or two ago. A step in the right direction. Hopefully she can work on turning more South American countries socialist/communist.

What on earth are you talking about? She is not a Socialist or Communist.

^I agree, she's a reformed capitalist
A couple of social reforms are gonna solve very little if anything

She says nothing about trying to combat the poverty and exploitation in Latin America <_<
