ANALISIS POLITICO DE CHILE...NOCHE DE TITANES ... semana del 10 al 17 de mayo 2026 📱Added:
[music] [music] [music] Hello friends, how are you? Welcome to the Strategic Security and Defense channel.
Thank you for tuning in once again to the Sunday broadcasts, right, at this time of night, a night of titans, where we analyze, right, the political events of the week that ends and begins today with all, right, the pros and cons, right, the disagreements and everything that may have happened in this week that takes a couple more days from this year. And without meaning to, we are already approaching, but at a rapid pace, the middle of the year. Ah, so this whole year of 2026 has gone by incredibly fast.
We say hello to everyone who has joined the chat. Thank you for always being there with us, giving us your greetings, your opinions, etc., etc. We also greet those who are watching us live and those who will watch us later. For those who are new, subscribe to the channel, like, and share our videos.
New subscribers, please subscribe, that's super important, okay? And also, of course, the thumbs up, because so you can see that you like the YouTube program, there we are kind of behind, man, it seems you don't like the truth very much, but oh well, it doesn't matter.
Hey, today is packed with interesting news because it's been a busy week, so we send our best wishes to everyone who's sick, and to those who've already recovered, right?
The most critical stage, and those who are all dealing with new developments, well, we pray for them, right? At night, in the solitude of our room, we pray that things go well for them and that, in one way or another, the boss of all bosses sends them comfort, right? And the strength it needs.
Let's greet our guest, or rather our guest Juan Leudedé, who is already with us and who will actually be accompanying Andrea Iñig, who had a small mishap and the internet went down, but is already trying to reconnect. We're watching out of the corner of our eye, so he'll be with us right away. Andrea, how are you? Welcome to the channel. Nice to meet you. Let's see if you're listening to me, Andrea.
Andrea, I can't hear you. I'm going out, I'm going in.
Perfect. Okay, let's bring Juanito in then for greetings while Andreas deals with his technical problem. Let's see what's going on there. How is Juan? Nice to meet you.
Very well, it's a pleasure to greet everyone.
It's great to be on the show, and well, we hope Andrea solves her technical problem, right?
Yes, of course, anyway we'll see because I had no audio, I couldn't hear anything, so we'll see that everything gets sorted out, hopefully in the best way possible.
How are you, Juanito? How are things going? First of all, how is your health? How cold is it?
Um, [laughs] I've had a bit of a cold, but nothing major. And well, with the aches and pains, you know that when you turn 50 you start to have aches and pains, so I already have some aches and pains, but they are minor, right? I'm not complaining, actually.
Very well, but delighted to be with you and to analyze what is happening in Chile and abroad. You know, I really want to invite you to a special program we have for people over 50.
The perfect, comfortable place in life. To you and Andrita. I'd like to invite you all together because we're the dynamic trio there, uh, so we can talk about some things, but you know I want to talk about food with you. I don't know why I have a feeling you 're good at making faces, or not so much. You're already taking care of yourself. Yes, well, I'm a glutton and I love to eat, let's say. There are very few things I don't eat.
Actually, uh, let's say, I was raised in a place where you didn't ask yourself what you wanted to eat. There was a menu that my mother and I put out, and the children had to eat, and if they didn't eat, they would go hungry. That's what we're used to. Yes, we'll ask Laita if you have time on Thursday at 9 pm and we can get together on a new channel called Flow Plateado. And Flow Plateado is for the people, it is aimed exclusively at people 50 and over.
So we talked about various topics, you know, and we'd like to have you join us.
Well, people have written to Juan and Andrea, asking me to share memories, what they remember from when they were little kids, about the food, and the same thing you said, those who didn't eat and then had to eat at night, it was tough, was n't it? Sure, logical, sure. The best way to teach children, to get them used to the fact that in life there are many times when one must, as they say, " eat some toads," and must get used to living even in abundance, one must have a sense of scarcity. Hey, Arturo.
Yes of course.
And uh and in the house always, well, I come from a European home on both sides and Europeans have gone through many wars, a lot of hunger.
So, the culture was at that level, and we were taught not to waste food, to respect what it means to have a hot plate of food, right? Two at least twice a day. And also be generous to those who have economic problems. That's how it is.
Because deep down we're all in the same boat, right? Whether due to religious convictions or simply Greek ethics, we were taught to be very respectful of others, to be very grateful, and I am very happy to have been raised that way. Hi Andrea, how are you?
Hello good evening.
We were peeling you.
Were they listening to me? No, yes. Hey, now we're talking, now we're talking.
Now yes. Hey, but people, look, like I said about the Thursday program I want to invite you all to, which is the Flow Plateado program on the GT 50+ channel, and they're already complaining here, saying, "Yeah, but Andreita isn't over 50, so [laughs] how [laughs] not very nice. Hey, no, I can't at 9, but if I can come in at 10, no problem, but I can't at 9.
Oh, well, we'll do it for more, right? Very entertaining, right? Yes, I've qualified since February of this year. I qualify for the program.
[laughs] But hey, we're going to ask for your ID because I don't believe you have that status. No, yes, I am a daughter.
I was born in the United States and in the United States my mom was told that I was a daughter of the bicentennial, you know? That the bicentennial was in '76, so I was a daughter of the Bicentennial. So yes, but very, very grateful for your compliment, right? Lots of memories about the food, yes. Uh, and I also remember that you had to take care of your clothes because they were inherited by siblings, cousins, everyone. Exactly.
Look, good, good. Those topics, Andreita and Juan, I think we'll talk about those topics on Thursday because really, some really lovely people are coming together on this new channel, and we want it to be, right, more in our style, so that the new viewers, the younger ones, know that we are, uh, the different generation, right? Those of us who are between analog and digital.
[laughs] Exactly.
Trying to move towards digital, right?
Right. Well, let's start the program, dear friends. We're going to start today. We're going to change places there, of course, with our lady, and as always, Andreita, we'll start the program with your analysis and your assessment of the most relevant political issues, of what What has happened in Chile in the political arena, according to your assessment? [clears throat] Well, I think we'll discuss this further this week so the nation can rest easy, but I think the big news was the general approval of this project called the Reconstruction Law. And I want to comment on the role played by the chairman of the committee, Congressman Romero. I think he was spectacular, but there's also some news: this government, for me, is becoming a double-edged sword, two sides of the same coin, right?
Because on the one hand, I'm very happy about what's to come, the performance of Congressman Romero, which I'll talk about later. I also can't hide my sadness at the death of Mr. Alfonso Pobles. I see an Antonieta in the chat writing to us from Temuco. I lived in Temuco for seven years. So, Antonieta, hello, a big hello.
And because, well, Mr. Alfonso was from Temuco, I lived there for many years, I had The opportunity to meet him.
He also had a very important law firm, and I'd like to share an anecdote here, if you'll allow me, Arturo. He had a very complete library in his office, and at that time there weren't any digital publications yet, and he allowed me to use that library for some legal research I'm doing.
So, I can't fail to mention that. I feel great sorrow, and I also feel great sorrow, not only for the way he died, and I congratulate the National Libertarian Party for the things they've done in speaking out against the Undersecretary of Human Rights.
Because I truly believe that the role played by the government, by President CAS, which is my government, but I'm not going to stay silent when I think things aren't being done right, and I said some serious things, and this seems serious to me; it hurts me a lot how the case was handled. That's it. Of course. Um, Juanito, your contribution, your assessment of the most relevant events of this past week.
I agree with Andrea that they have [Clears throat] There have been two events, of course, of dulce de leche. The general approval of the reconstruction project was very positive.
Chile has been limping for many years, for 12 years now [Clears throat] since then.
Twelve years ago, Bachelet's tax reform was approved with Arenas, with the economist Mitro [Clears throat] Arenas.
And since then, [laughs] despite everything they were told, the right wing supported the tax reform, and that meant the fall of the economy, and it hasn't been able to recover for various reasons. But there is a structural issue in the Chilean economy, in Chilean society, that prevents development, and I believe that this project is the beginning of changes, hopefully more structural ones, that need to happen in Chilean society for this country to begin to progress. We've been frozen for 12 years, that is, we've regressed.
In general, people are poorer compared to, say, a year ago.
The year 2000, and this is a good start. I think it has very positive factors, and it was quite an odyssey to finish the voting. It ended at 5 in the morning because the opposition is determined to obstruct the government in every way possible. That's an issue to address. It's truly very delicate. Of course. And speaking of delicate issues, there have been some raised voices and calls for some kind of action that caught our attention. And I'm going to put an image on the screen so we can talk a little about this. The Political Constitution of the Republic of Chile, in Chapter 5, Article 60, Paragraph 5, Common Rules for Deputies and Senators, says, "Without prejudice to the provisions of the seventh paragraph of number 15 of Article 19, is a deputy or senator who, verbally or in writing, incites the disturbance of public order or promotes a change in the institutional legal order by means other than those established by this Constitution, also considered to be acting in their official capacity?" or that seriously compromises the security or honor of the nation.
Look how important this is, and I'd like Andrea, as a constitutional lawyer, to give us a brief overview, a little masterclass, on what this means and what we've been seeing with some members of parliament who have called, quite simply, for disturbing public order, for taking to the streets, and so on. Perhaps many, not directly, but certainly, very much more than subliminally, have done so. Andrea, what can you tell us about this?
Okay. This article, which is Article 60, establishes the grounds for removal from office for deputies and senators. Right? So, what we 're seeing here is a rule that, first of all, is interpreted restrictively. What does this mean? It means that a ground for removal from office must be fully substantiated; it cannot be substantiated, to use a redundant phrase, for purely theoretical reasons. That is, it has to be absolutely explicit. The grounds for removal from public office are expressly interpreted. Now, what we've been hearing from some members of parliament is, well, this business of holding a demonstration, if you do it with the due precautions established in Article 19, number 13, regarding the right of assembly, that's fine. And the issue is whether this complies with Article 19, number 3, that is, the requirements that exist to be able to organize a demonstration, okay?
Because if they aren't met, and even if they are, and if they are, along with the requirements established in Article 60, we're going to have to be vigilant. Let's put this in perspective, my point is that we cannot allow any action that violates Article 60 of the Constitution, and therefore this requires that the members of parliament from our sector be attentive to these kinds of situations.
Juanito, your assessment?
Yes. Well, what drew the most attention and anger, a lot of anger and concern, was the statement by Deputy Lorena Pizarro, who called for, let 's say, specific calls to take to the streets to, in essence, prevent—right?
—prevent this right-wing government from taking us back to the past, from rolling back all our rights and being regressive, and she called for surrounding the National Congress. She says that we won't be able to avoid what's coming, this mistake, right?
This mistake coming from the right, unless we have people in the streets. That's what she's calling for: violent demonstrations. That's the gist of it. She did n't mention the word "violent," but she does n't need to. When the Communist Party talks about the streets, it talks about violent demonstrations. So, what has been done in Chile?
The criminals, the terrorists, and the violent ones, the October Revolutionaries, have been transformed into veritable butterflies, have n't they? Winged angels, heroes, heroes of Chile's salvation, and they have... They've vilified them at the same time and transformed them into cockroaches, haven't they? These repulsive animals, repulsive insects, uh, the police and the armed forces. When you do both things at the same time, what you're doing is making it seem reasonable and convenient to these young people, in what I call their dear youth, for example, to throw Molotov cocktails in the faces of police officers, uh, to attack them with blunt objects, even to shoot and kill them. So, this is the environment that the Communist Party creates, and that's the problem: that deep down they're transgressing the rules for being a political party, and what's been discussed is asking for the Communist Party to be dissolved again, like Gabriel did with Fran. That's where we're going to end up because the Communist Party is determined to, after gauging, right?, the size of the opponent, the enemy, is essentially measuring the resistance and the toughness of the Caste government. They've measured it in many ways, and Caste hasn't It has shown toughness; on the contrary, it has ignored violent acts, such as starting to destroy subway stations again. There was a demonstration the other day where there was a lot of damage, and deep down, the Communist Party is testing the capacity of the masses to withstand an October 9th. That's what they're doing, and that's very worrying. And I agree with Andrea, Congress and our parliamentarians have to be on top of it, and when necessary, introduce—I don't know how it will be—a request, a bill, something like that, to eventually demand the dissolution of the Communist Party of the Front, because they are subversion, and they always have been and always will be.
They are Marxist-Leninists. Marxism- Leninism, by definition, is violent action to take power away from the bourgeoisie and impose the dictatorship of the proletariat.
No, no, let's not be mistaken, as Kaiser says. Yes. Hey, I'm reading the chat here so people can see that many times they say we don't take it seriously. He tells me, but Alberto Andrade asks me something, Andreita. I'd like you to answer first. He says, "Why is there so much talk about rights and what about duties?"
Well, let's see, the thing is, this is a bit... [clears throat] Okay, I'll try to explain, try to explain it as simply as possible. If I'm making it complicated, you all interrupt me and say, "Andrea, we don't understand anything." Look, what's happening is that a legal doctrine has been introduced that understands rights as absolute, right? And that all rights are absolute. So, in the end, these rights that are absolute, and as Alberto rightly says, they aren't accompanied by obligations. So, in the end, when you get to a situation of absolute rights, the rights collide, they clash with another, and when they clash, then the judge is the one who has to decide who is right, one or the other. I don't agree with this theory; unfortunately, it's a very fashionable theory, but I don't agree with it. I believe that rights have an essence, and the moment that essence overflows, it's like a glass, right? So, when you overflow a right, it's like a glass.
When you overflow a right, it ceases to be a right because you've overflowed it. That could be called abuse of rights.
The moment you abuse a right, the right simply disappears. And the abuse of rights comes precisely from the violation of an obligation that goes hand in hand with that right. For example, right now I'm exercising my freedom of expression, and I could do many things. If I were to accept the honor of another person, those who say that rights are absolute would say that rights clash. I don't believe that rights clash. I believe that the moment I abuse my right to freedom of expression by accepting the honor of another person, the right simply disappears, and therefore I can be sanctioned for affecting the honor of others. So, of course, but in this mentality where all rights are absolute, indeed, Alberto is right. Uh, no, then what we We call it a duty that accompanies the right, which is what it has traditionally always been understood as. Ah, I think that's the explanation. Right. Now, who has the function of reminding people that rights come with duties, and if a right is exceeded, then the right no longer exists and must be sanctioned? It's the judges. The problem is that judges are probably also being, let's say, trained in this mentality of absolute rights.
Interesting. Juanito, what's your interpretation of that?
Well, I agree with Andrea's legal perspective, of course. And also, from a political point of view, from the political process, the left has transformed desires and all aspirations into rights. That is, any desire that a group has, they want to establish it as a right. And that makes citizens think that for these rights the state has infinite money, there are no scarce resources for the left, but rather the State is the one that must provide, and that's how they offer free housing, isn't that right?
Free transportation and all kinds of subsidies and benefits. And what does that lead to? Well, it leads to Chile today, where we have a debt of over 200 billion dollars, we don't have a penny in the treasury, and we're economically paralyzed.
When you transform desires into rights, you're headed for disaster. Logically, because if all your desires are rights for you, for any person, at any age, it means ruin, imminent ruin, because why would you work if you have the right to housing, the right to a job, the right to education, the right to health, and when they convince you that things are free, and they tell you that because education is free, health is free, as if nobody pays for that, you're headed for ruin. That's what I see in the process of using the word " rights" for aspirations that come without cost, without obligations.
Excuse me for interrupting, Arturo. And that's the criticism that has been made of Franco's school precisely for having turned desires into rights. I mean, you... Of course, I did a... It's more of a legal analysis, a dimension that ultimately leads to the same problem, because this issue of balancing rights also has an influence on the country's Francoist school of thought. Of course, it's part of Claro, absolutely.
Yes, of course. And in the previous administration, I'm reading something here that Dr. Ricardo Vargas wrote, and this fits quite well with everything that happened in the previous government and what we've been seeing with Camila Vallejo's mother-in-law and brothers-in-law, that amount of millions, right?, that they billed to the health system, where Dr. Ricardo Vargas says, "The law is there, the loophole is there." That's it. It could fit with that, my dear Andrea, that we've been seeing, for example, in the case of foundations, supposedly funds were transferred to foundations, foundations that didn't meet the requirements of the law, but they were foundations that could transfer money. They weren't even a year old and they were receiving millions of pesos. When the law clearly states that only after they have been in existence for a year can they receive up to certain amounts. And when they turn two, they can receive other amounts. But here we clearly saw that these were foundations created to establish the legal framework for transferring the necessary funds.
So, what Dr. Vargas says, that's the law, that's a trap, right?
Yes, but it's not just that... No, look, there are two things. One, indeed, there are many laws with gray areas where someone creative might find a loophole, but I think that's where human error comes in, because it turns out that laws have to be interpreted by judges, and legal actions and investigations have to be carried out by the Public Prosecutor's Office. So, one could say, well, why, within all the foundation scandals, don't we have perhaps the number of people formally charged that should be? Do you notice?
Or why aren't judges granting preventive detention or weakening the formal charges, let's put it that way? So, one would also have to ask, or is it that they're not... There is n't enough evidence, so there's a human failing: you didn't know how to properly gather the evidence to establish even a minimal presumption to move the process forward. Or, even when the evidence is there— I'm not talking about specific cases, so it's understood this way, but in general cases too—or perhaps the evidence is right in front of you, and there are simply human failings that prevent you from moving forward with the investigation. That can also be the case. In other words, it's not just the law; there's also the loophole. Here, there's also a human failing for various reasons, right? Which is a lack of virtue. Of course. And Alberto Andrade is responding, saying, "Thank you, Andreita." All children have the right to education and it is their duty to study. "What are children doing in the street rummaging around?"
So, that was it, Juanito, I don't know if you want to add anything [laughs] about it.
No, the matter is clear now.
Okay, perfect. Let's move on to another topic because the idea is that we've changed the format of the program a bit, and I'm going to show an image, dear friends, the image of discord. This image you see is the reason why the delivery of a hospital that was supposed to benefit some 600,000 people was delayed for almost four years.
These things there, which have even been called garbage, were the reason; these were the clay pots they found at the site of that hospital that couldn't be delivered and that has been closed to the public for almost four years, right? Because these supposedly ancient artifacts were there.
After making the necessary inquiries, it turns out that nobody knows where these artifacts are now, who found them, where they took them, and why, as the Argentinians would say, they made such a fuss about it. That's what was maintained, right? Unable to move forward and unable to pay attention to a population of around 600,000 people.
Now this was said, boom, it's removed, set aside, and the green light was given for the hospital project to move forward. What do you think about this, my dear Andrea?
Well, the concept of monuments has shown some, let's say, problems in its operation for some time now, and that has precisely generated these kinds of situations, right? I do n't know if the monuments council intervened here, but this business of finding some, let's say, archaeological find that can paralyze construction, the development of construction projects, for a long time.
Well, and this is precisely what, and here I agree with President CAS and also with the president, excuse me, the minister Pouque, because they have been clear regarding this issue, that is, that these kinds of situations cannot delay the progress of the works. This week the president also caused quite a bit of controversy with a statement he made regarding the Chinchillas, right?
So, I don't know specifically, I don't remember exactly which one, but again, it's the same thing. I mean, and they've been heavily criticized because they said, "Look, projects can't be stopped because of these kinds of archaeological elements, chinchillas or whatever, especially when it comes to saving lives, please."
So, I find it incredible that—and that's where you realize how the public system works—I mean, where are these archaeological pieces? They're not there, this is unbelievable. Look, thank God, I think common sense is finally returning to this country, sanity is returning.
Of course it is. Look, Hernán Herrera says, "The archaeological value is determined quickly." The social urgency is more important. What you just said, Juanito, what's your " Yes"? Well, [clears throat] it's good, it's good to say that this is the Salvador hospital, isn't it? Which is none other than the Salvador hospital located in Providencia and which, as you said, Arturo, is meant to serve 600,000 people. So, this thing about finding some ceramic pots that may have been brought by someone from Pomai and dropped there, or perhaps it's something that has a long history, from, I do n't know, the pre-Inca era, and has historical value, but that doesn't mean there was a settlement or a cemetery or anything like that there, and it simply means that someone threw it away, and with that, they paralyzed the potential health of 600,000 people in a situation where we have a waiting list of more than 2 million people waiting for medical attention. All of this is nonsense and is part of a program, a plan by the left, to slow down the public administration. They do it through permits and also use this thing about monuments and archaeological sites. It is said that in Chile those who are in charge of protecting the monuments do not do so, but they are concerned that a cup and some filth were found on the ground and they paralyze and ruin the health of 600,000 people. That's a crime, what he's doing is a crime. It's truly on a level of ultimate evil. In other words, this is the constant struggle, the infinite struggle between good and evil. This business of raiding a hospital of that category, that size and that importance, because they found five ceramic vessels of dubious origin and no, and as you say, they were lost, they are nowhere to be found. It is truly an act of evil.
This is the evil that appears in Chilean society, which unfortunately seems to be a pandemic, doesn't it?
Hey, but they're not even gadgets, they're just pieces of whatever that aren't even defined as anything.
Those five pieces are what they found.
So they might have taken the form of a figure that resembles a human or an alien, or as you say, a contraption, I don't know, a vase, a cup, or whatever, but those are, as you rightly say, it could be anything, but that's where they caused the serious problem.
So, unfortunately, yes, fortunately this is over now and as Andrea rightly says, sanity and common sense are returning to the country. Move forward as you need to move forward because these things are practical.
Arturo, I ask, we won't know, but how many people have died who shouldn't have died because they weren't treated at the hospital that was paralyzed for 4 years?
It's a question, isn't it?
Yes of course. Look, what Hernán Herrera says is another interesting intervention. Do you remember the construction of the subway?
The Calicanto bridge was carefully removed and the construction of the subway continued.
Simple, of course.
[laughs] Sorry, no. Go ahead, Andrita, go ahead, please.
No, and the Calicanto bridge is indeed a historical monument, that is, that does have a history.
Of course, but well, I think, look, Juana Concha says, "And if they were there and if they were planted only to paralyze the works, one never knows, the Ws might have them and all of them, really."
Sure, of course.
Okay, let's keep going, dear friends, and we have another photograph with another interesting theme that I want to share, right? so that they can give me their feedback. I like the people in the chat when they're really interactive and engaging with us, giving their opinions, and writing, right? And the state is good, that's the idea. That's the idea. And if you want to ask any questions for any of the panelists, ask them and if we have time we will answer them with all our heart. Okay, let's add to the scenario. "Cas works miracles," this photo says. ENAP reports its highest production level since 2022 and millions in profits in the first quarter of 2026. ENAP, right?
That's good, not only ENAP, remember that they took money from each of the institutions in the previous government. Look what happened with Codelco, which has already been discovered, right? The trickery and deceit they used to try to obtain some kind of benefit for both the executives and the workers with things that were false. So, ENAP is reporting its highest production level since 2022.
What can we make of this, my dear Andrea, from your point of view?
Well, I'd love for the government to explain how they did it. Ah, so, what did they do to... I think it's very good, I think it's very good that production levels are recovering... I think what's being done is very good, so I have nothing more to add. It would be good to know, uh, that's why it's so important, Juan insisted a lot on this, the audits, because maybe an audit wasn't necessary, but they simply started taking certain measures that, to state the obvious, would be taken in any company to make it more efficient. [clears throat] Just so you know, speaking of Nap, I'm paying close attention to what's going to happen and the discoveries that Mr. Bernardo Fontén might make at Codelco. That's going to be interesting and a topic that needs to be followed up on. It's going to be very interesting, to say the least.
Wow, very good point, Andrea.
Juanito, we're leaving the ball there for you with the two points, Nap's comment and what Andrea said. Well, regarding Nap, I agree, we hope it will lead to greater efficiency and a lower level of theft, because in all these entities in AP, Codelco, needless to say, they have been veritable slush funds for politicians since 1990. That is, since 1990, Codel Coenap has been affected by politicians who don't necessarily have the technical skills. But if they are politicians, they get, let's say, the positions and all kinds of shady contracts have been made, but this has never been controlled, it has never been audited.
Codelco is a disgrace.
With copper prices like these, it's shameful that this company isn't even capable of generating profits. Instead, they cheat to give bonuses of up to 50 million pesos to executives for supposedly meeting their targets.
that they met the goal by cheating, so vulgarly by cheating and adding 20,000 tons of finished production to the company's real records. This is what Bernardo Fontén is going to investigate, among other things.
We hope there will be a change in the administration of Codelco because, as I said once before, and I'll say it briefly because we discussed it more extensively earlier, Codelco produces twice the production of the Luxich mining company, isn't that right? A quarter of the mining company's results. That means Luxich's mining company, right? It's eight times more efficient than Codelco, so it couldn't be clearer, right? Something is very wrong because of inefficiency, because of excess staff, because of, and because of, let's say, grabbing at the till, which they've been doing for years. And so it turned out that the remodeling of the Codelco building cost 60 million dollars, which is eventually more expensive than building the entire building. So, one doesn't need to do an audit to know that they are stealing there. That's the truth. Here they have looted the state of Chile. We 've said it 20 times on this channel with you, Arturo. They have looted the state of Chile and the state of Chile ca n't take it anymore. So, either we correct course or we'll go into the abyss. Of course. No, anyway, I think things are being rectified, and as Andrea and Juan were saying, the fear of the investigations and everything that will be found and brought to light is making this profound change real, and we are seeing the reactivation and work as it should be, if these are companies that produced any amount and as democracy comes and we are in the red. In other words, in any company, as Andrea rightly says and as you say, Juan, when I put a manager in and that manager doesn't give me results, kick him out and goodbye. I mean, immediately, I mean, if I start to see that it's not working for me, companies are for creating wealth, right? By the time they're causing me losses, I have two alternatives. Already. Either I see what's going on and do a complete restructuring, or I close the company, right? Because I stopped losing money. It's that simple. So, but since these are state-owned companies and there's a whole machine set up there for political payments, as you rightly say, it has to keep working.
Good. He says something, let's see, Marcelo Becerra says, "Politicians running strategic companies, where have you ever seen that [laughs]?"
If that's what it is at the bottom, I mean, it's like what happened in Venezuela when they put a bunch of idiots there to manage strategic and productive companies, of course they all went to hell because they don't know how to manage them. If you know, well, we're not going to keep staying in our shirts. Let's move on to another image and talk about this interesting topic that the current opposition is discussing, right? that suddenly he was overcome with nationalism, patriotism, wanting to protect resources and a bunch of other things that they brought up now that there is no security plan and all that nonsense. I have to say a little bit about the security plan. They are demanding that they submit a security plan. But you know what?
Based on my experience in other countries, and especially in El Salvador, a territorial control plan is presented, but it is only a rough outline.
These are the six points that the territorial control plan has. First stage, ta. Second stage, ta ta ta.
Ready. Nothing else. how it will be done, what strategy will be used, and how the tactics will be implemented. That's not in the plan. It cannot be said, because if the information about how the plan is structured is leaked, it will immediately fall into the hands of the person who needs to be in order to take the necessary measures. So, this plan structure can only be presented in general terms, a bullet point and nothing more. How is? It's like when the mayors or someone from the government tells you, "We're going to do an operation next week starting on Monday in town X and we're going to bring X amount of cash." Obviously the criminals are going to flee from there, everyone, everything is going to be lost, of course.
So, you have to be really clueless and have very little vision to be demanding that the Minister of Security hand over a detailed plan of what will be done in security. No, that never happens and it shouldn't happen. So bye. No, I don't fish that part. What do you think, dear Andrea?
No, I'm just giving my opinion; I'm not going to talk about security plans, or I've never designed one, but I'm going to say it from a legal point of view. I believe that no security plan is going to really work if you carry out a raid, a whole intelligence operation, end up with many people arrested, and then when the courts get involved, you're lucky if one or two remain in pretrial detention.
So, the truth is, I mean, I also notice, you'll have to worry, Arturo, you're an expert in strategy and that's fine, but I'm seeing what happens next, I mean, what happens next if you don't have a judicial power that really starts to rigorously apply the law, then I don't know how useful you're going to be. That's the problem. That's the problem. So, I also believe that this security plan must also address, once and for all, the problems we have in the judiciary and the public prosecutor's office, certainly.
And where are we going to put them if there are so many of them and we don't have prison capacity either?
That's right, Juanito.
Well, there is no doubt that part of security is the intelligence to handle situations and to manage them with tactics within the grand strategy, but the grand strategy should not be communicated. I agree, and it would be good if the government told Congress, if they are asking for that, to explain which part of the strategy, if they have one, will not be communicated because it is part of the essence of security. Now, security in the sense of national security naturally has to include structural actions, and these are bills, these are high-level discussions on how to modify, how to rectify the Public Ministry and certainly the election of judges and the sanctions that both judges and prosecutors have to face when they don't really act ethically and don't respect the laws and the Constitution. If the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Judiciary are not restructured, we will never truly have a national security system that allows us to live in peace. And furthermore, and here comes a political decision, I would tell President Cast to show more strength and more conviction, because he promised, among other things, to give an example, that he was going to consider pardons for people who are imprisoned, military and police officers, right?, who are imprisoned in jails, also other elderly people, and that he was going to consider the pardons on a case-by-case basis.
And that's the first time it's been said, I mean, first he hasn't announced anything about it. In other words, people already have the feeling that José Antonio Cas is not going to fulfill what he promised during the campaign. He promised it many times, he clearly defined it in the debates and gave the reasons why he considered that there were people in Chilean prisons who did not deserve to be imprisoned, first because they had fulfilled their duty and second because they no longer had the age or the health to endure a prison state. That's one thing.
So he has to generally fulfill what he has promised and not come saying that those campaign promises were also metaphors because we are not going to accept that. So if José Antonio Cast really wants to improve security in the country, he has to start by giving respect to the police, the retired [snort] and also certainly the active ones, because if he doesn't, no one from the Carabineros will get in, no one from the armed forces will get in. And they will certainly all be demoralized and will not want to fulfill their obligations. I am calling attention, the attention of Chileans, to the fact that there are no police officers on the streets of Chile. I don't see any police officers on the streets. I see them when they hold press conferences, when they go to a specific procedure with journalists, but there are no police officers patrolling the streets of Chile in a preventative capacity. And then the criminals have the feeling that they can continue committing crimes because there is no police and because they are not going to go to jail.
Furthermore, all the people arrested in Temucuncuy were released.
That's the problem Andrea mentions with the Public Prosecutor's Office and the judges.
No, sorry. And I can add something, Arturo.
Of course.
Regarding this issue of pardons, I believe there are two elements. There are two elements. one who is both humanitarian and political. The humanitarian aspect is for the reasons we already know, but there is also the political element, and that's what you were saying, Juan, and I say this in all the chats where we talk about this issue of pardons and I'm going to say it again here. The problem that President Piñera had during the outbreak, among many problems, was that it was known that the armed forces did not want to go out and impose order in the way that should have been done, because afterwards they were obviously afraid of reprisals and legal action.
Commander Crespo has also said that the Carabineros are not afraid of criminals, but rather of prosecutors and judges. So what's going on? If the president doesn't give any indication that he's going to give legal backing to the armed forces in case it becomes necessary to declare a state of emergency. And for the police, do you know what's going to happen, Juan? Well, look, right now the left is kind of disoriented and, uh, disorganized, right? But be careful not to lose respect for the left; they have a great capacity for reorganization and for constructing narratives and discourses, and we already saw that in government. President Piñera. The left quickly reorganized in 2011 and 2019. So, I don't know if the president thinks they won't be able to reorganize, and therefore won't be able to go out and disrupt the streets. It is true that perhaps they haven't done very well, but as you say, that could also be a tactic to take the pulse of the situation. We'd have to see about that. But the truth is that at this moment we are absolutely without protection. We have no barrier between us and chaos. There isn't one because this barrier is called a carabiner. Indeed, expensive. In other words, we are at the mercy of all these people who, if they go back out onto the streets at the right time, which I think is most likely what they will do, not yet, but they will, who? And as the grasshopper said, " Now, who will defend him?"
Sure, sure.
And they've already started, they've already started with the exercises in the subway stations. Beware, they have already begun to take over the streets by throwing students, or students, in quotes, to destroy subway stations. There are already images. So the government shouldn't play dumb about this and needs to face the music. The logical thing is that if people go to destroy subway facilities, they should all be arrested and registered, and they should start taking notes on the violent individuals, because the government now wants to, and I agree that they should, register all the illegal immigrants who enter clinics and hospitals. I think it's very good because the only way we have to know how many illegal immigrants there are in Chile is to register them.
If we don't [clears throat] know, then the position says, "No, what about human rights? No, no, no registration." But if they do that, well, the coherent and consistent part has to be to arrest all those who destroy these teachers, arrest them all, take them all to the police station, register them, and then we'll see who gets out and who doesn't. But it can't be that hordes of people go and destroy the subway and nobody does anything about it. That can't be. Of course. Look, regarding the issue of security and what Andrea was talking about, and she brought up the judicial branch, the security plan, and I always use it as a reference because it's something I've been working on since 2022 when the security and territorial control plan began in El Salvador.
And indeed, before that, for two years, a whole intelligence operation was carried out before a certain state of total exception was decreed on March 26, 2022, and the Territorial Control Plan began to be applied. There was a great change in the judicial branch, from the Attorney General who was dismissed, to the people, judges who were dismissed, prosecutors who were dismissed, right? because of the links he had with the gangs and precisely who they were going to fight.
Once the judicial branch was cleaned up, work began immediately because I was there, I mean, I arrived in El Salvador on April 4th.
This started on March 26th, on April 4th I was in El Salvador and I stayed until the end of July.
Construction of the mega-prison began immediately to have enough space for all the criminals who were going to be imprisoned. 40,000 people, that is, a capacity of 40,000 people. Well, we have 92,000 detainees in total in El Salvador. Ah, I see. And there are still around 92,000 left. We've already passed 92,000. We've gone 12 days without homicides, right? not by gangs, nor by terrorist groups or drug traffickers. The 1200 days passed. And apart from that, apart from that, I want to tell you that in El Salvador it only took 6 months to build the most modern mega-prison in South America. It took 6 months, involved 3500 people, five companies, and cost $75 million.
Be careful what I'm saying because in Boris's government they wanted to build a security prison for 2000 people that cost 350 million dollars.
So how can we compare a prison for 40,000 people that cost $75 million and took 6 months to build, with this prison that they say was going to take a whole year to build and cost a ridiculous amount of money? So there we see, indeed, how theft, the adjustments, the cronyism and a series of manipulations were going to exist going to the core, while, as Andrea said, as long as the judicial power, ministers, judges and prosecutors are not improved, we are not going to advance in absolutely anything. Unless the three branches of government unite to implement the security and territorial control plan, absolutely nothing will happen. It's going to be a short-term fix, but it will lead to long-term problems.
Because?
Because we'll be working, picking and choosing from different areas. But that's called working the balloon effect, where you squeeze one side and the balloon inflates on the other side. You squeeze it on the other side and it inflates to the other side. So, it doesn't work, it doesn't work to work like that. I keep insisting, I have every good faith that they will do things right, but what Andrea said is fundamental. The judicial system is where the focus needs to be right now to prevent that gateway from existing and to avoid the problems of resentment.
There's a problem with ideologies embedded within, and a lot of other things.
Unfortunately, that's the way it is.
That's how it is. Does anyone want to add anything about the two of them regarding this?
No. We're still moving forward. The last topic, the last topic we have left because, hey, it went by, but quickly, the program has been entertaining.
Look, it says that the investment, and here a comparative chart is made with the first four months of Boric's first government and the investments that were made, right? So, $6.3 million and these first four months, right? of this year in which President José Antonio CAS is, 22 million dollars. The difference is tremendous. In other words, as we 've said, when there is a certain appreciation from investors, especially foreign ones, who want to bring capital to do business, to create companies, right? And there is a sense of security, including political security, economic security, social security, public safety, and so on, that will give them a greater incentive to invest in a country. But if that doesn't exist, nothing will happen. I believe that's what we're seeing with what we're visualizing on the screen, millions of dollars in these first months of President CAS's government. What do you think, eh, my dear Andrea?
Well, I feel a little embarrassed to talk about economics in front of Juan, but I'm going to do it. I believe that the economy, as we know, is driven by expectations, right? It is driven by expectations. So, when President Borit came to power, let's not forget that we had the convention functioning at full capacity, [clears throat] right? So, the fact that 6 million dollars were invested in the first four months of President Boric's presidency, well, it seems [clears throat] like a lot of money. I mean, when you had Boric and the convention was running, it strikes me that someone would have wanted to invest something, let 's say, quite generously, but then, well, this is obvious because the economy moves by expectation. And this is where I wanted to make a brief reference to something very good that I think the government did this week through Congressman Agustín Romero, who I believe handled the Economy Committee in a truly spectacular way. So, here's the applause for the deputy... I didn't see the whole session, of course, because it was very long, but I received some excerpts and they were also published in Rels, etc. And what I saw there, something that unfortunately we did not see during President Piñera's government, was firmness, that is, the firmness with which Congressman Romero acted. I really take my hat off to them. Congratulations. I hope that the presidents of the committees that can improve you, and the president of the committees that have to review the project now, which I understand are the energy or environment committee, I think, and then the labor committee, which are not all aspects of the project, but some. I hope they follow the path of what Congressman Agustín Romero did. My sincere congratulations. He acted with firmness, a commanding presence, clarity, and he didn't tolerate nonsense, let's say. Uh, really good there, very good there. Just as Mr. Alfonso Plech did very badly, Representative Romero did very well. It's Juanito.
Well, look, [clears throat] 6 million or 22 million doesn't mean anything, does it? I mean, it could be a trend, I hope it is, but the interesting thing is that in Chile, investments worth around 50 billion dollars are being held up by permitting processes. There are very large projects held up by permitting processes.
In Chile, there is a number of permits that are truly unbearable for investors, and that is why investors do not come to Chile and even leave Chile. Then we'll see the difference when there are hundreds or thousands of millions of dollars in investments. That's where we can say that José Antonas made a difference because, in reality, Arturo, 22 million dollars is nothing for a country.
Absolutely nothing. The thing is, the permission machine is starting to loosen up. That's the most important thing you have to do in the economics section. Oh, and the tax authorities certainly have something to do with it. Oh, and the economy, the whole permitting process in Chile is a real hassle. In other words, you go from one side to the other and what they denied you here they give you here, and then the environmentalists come and all the ecologists come, everyone gets involved. Well, that's what the investments have been like. No investor is going to come to a country where at any moment their investment gets stuck because they find a broken glass somewhere. So, all of that has to end. All of this needs to be clarified for investors, and that will take time for José Antonio Cas, to give confidence to international investors, and then investments will come to Chile. Chile has an impressive amount of resources. Everyone says so in the rest of the Western Hemisphere.
Everyone is interested in investing in Chile, but today it's impossible to invest in Chile. That's why I'm telling you, 6.2 or 100 million is nothing yet. It has to be tens of hundreds of millions of dollars. That's where Chile is going to change. Of course. Hey, what a great show today, but I don't want to end this show without asking a question to the public, a question to the chat, and a question to you, my esteemed panelists.
You saw, dear friends, that this little commander is trying to learn everything about artificial intelligence, and you saw, right?, the new image we released for the Night of the Titans program, which I'm going to put here on the screen. What do you think of the appearance of our panelists? My God, look at them. What [laughs] can you tell me in the chat, please? Look there, Andrea's, Juan's.
Look, look. They're really cool. [laughs] Actually, it seems like, what do you think of the new image of Así va a salir todos la la on the weekends of the program? We're just going to change the title on YouTube, but this will be the official infographic.
What do you think? In my case, [laughs] my case seems like a journey through time, doesn't it? But it's very nice, Juanito, there [laughs] in my case. In my case too, because I think that photo is of my players from when I was a candidate 4 years ago, imagine. So no, uh, it seems to me [laughs] it also seems to me that everything is shining like this, like I promise you, if it's like we have an office from the coin now, like this, so I loved it.
Congratulations.
Ah, yes, it's good.
Very good. [laughs] Anyway, anyway, but a little bird told me that I'm going to try to improve Juanito. I'm going to make him look more like Brad Pitt, they told me. Sure, that's it, that's it, [laughs] sure. But let's say no plastic surgeon could, say, accomplish that feat, right? It seems like the practice, but oh well, of course. But anyway, dear friends, with this photograph, we're going to move on to the program's infographic, right? We're going to use it for a while until we change the photo to some that are maybe more... more stylish, we can't be there. We're having a great time.
Yes of course. [laughs] But hey, at least you can tell it's us.
That's right, that's right.
Yes, it is [laughs] so there it is. Hey, Andreita, Juan, let's end the program like this. Today we did it completely differently, and I hope it was a bit more dynamic. I hope people liked the format of showing some images and talking about them. We'd also like people to give us their opinions. Please leave your feedback below the video about whether you liked the program or not, or if you have any important topics you'd like us to discuss briefly with panelists Andrea and Juan on Sunday. Leave your comments below the chat. Andreita Juan, your farewell words, please, from the program, right? Thank you so much, Arturo, for all your creativity. The truth is that we are very entertained on Thursday, anyway we are going to have memories of the past. Nothing, look, as always, a lot of hard work with a lot of optimism, I know the situation is very difficult, unemployment, etc., so anyway we are going to continue fighting [clears throat] because this is where it started and from here we are going to continue, of course, highlighting the good things and the bad things that happen in Chile and in the world also by our government. So, hey, we had a great time. A hug for you, Juan. For you, Arturo. Well, hopefully we'll see each other.
Ah, [laughs] no.
Ah, good night and to all the great ones. I hope you're doing well. Good night.
Good night. Have a good week. Blessings.
Thank you, Juanito. Farewell words.
Well, in this new stage that we have entered there with so much technology and [laughs] with so much magic on the part of Arturo, it doesn't seem very good to me and well, the idea is, uh, let's say, to talk objectively about the problems that Chile has, the possibilities that Chile has. And that is why we have always offered serious political criticism, both good and bad, and we have approved and celebrated what is good. Ultimately, our job, Arturo, is to wage the cultural war, but at the same time, as far as possible, to transmit knowledge to people on topics that many, most people, don't necessarily have to be, let's say, they have n't had or it's not their specialty. And so, clarifying the issues objectively is very important for the nation; it's part of the learning that a nation has to have. We are and this is not discrimination. In general, Chilean society is very ignorant because it has had a very poor education.
Education in the last 25, 30 years is terrible and that has to be overcome and we are part of that work and that's why it's a great satisfaction for me to be here with you, Arturo, and with Andrea, right? Thanks to you, Juanito, as always for your time and well, we hope that on Thursday, Thursday because we usually start it at 9 pm, but we're going to start a little later so that she can participate because it's going to be really entertaining. Let's talk about the things that happened to us when we were little kids, experiences, memories, right? Uh, and the idea appeals to me. Yes, of course, of course. No, memories, memories, of course, memories, Arturo, is a good definition. Memories are that paradise from which no one can ever expel you.
Exact.
That's a very good definition.
Anything can happen to you in life. You may be in pain, you may be in affliction or with problems, in short, you and your family, but the memories will always accompany you, nobody can take them away from you.
That's how it is.
And we live partly in that, we live partly in that place. Okay, see you Thursday then, eventually a huge hug, Juanito. See you soon, it's very good.
Bye. Well, dear friends, we had the participation of our constitutional lawyer, Dr. Leyes Andrea Íñigues, as well as our friend, business engineer and political analyst Juan Leedé, as every Sunday, right? Speaking of Chilean political issues, uh, above all else.
Tomorrow at 9 PM, in the crosshairs of intelligence, with Mr. Hermógenes Pérez de Arce. On Tuesday, Silver Flow, we'll have a cool little program at 9 pm. On Wednesday, security and defense with Daniel Prieto Vial at 9 pm as well. if possible. And this Thursday, as a special arrangement, at Andrea's request, we're going to do it a little later so she can participate with us, right? In silver flow also for those over 50, since she says, "In February I'm already at that point and how life is, so Juan Leedé will be joining us.
We're going to talk about food, diet, and other interesting things. Thank you for joining me, thank you for being with us. I hope the program was of interest to you.
See you next time. May Almighty God protect and bless Chile.
May Almighty God protect and bless all Chileans. So be it and so it shall be. And don't forget, dear friends, there are more of us who are good. Thank you for being here. Thank you all for your pleasant participation in the chat. See you next time, God willing. A big hug from afar.
Blessings. Good night.
