I Took A Gamble To Exercise Leadership

The Challenge Is For Us To Reinvigorate The Relationship With The Chilean People And To Give State Institutions New Legitimacy. But This Is Also A Universal Phenomenon. There's Also Disenchantment With Politics In Europe.

I Don't Like Stereotypes - No Kind Of Stereotypes.

When I'm Speaking Of Love, When I'm Speaking Of Reversing Hate, I'm Speaking Not Only Of Reconciliation - Even I Don't Use That Word - I Use Another Word In Spanish, That's Called 'reencuentro' - It's Not Reconciliation.

We Need To Have A Broad Debate So That The New Chilean Constitution Is Representative Of Everyone. I Am Convinced That It Cannot Just Be Developed By An Expert Group. First, People At All Levels Will Be Given An Opportunity To Provide Input. They Should Be Allowed To Express Their Opinions About The Kind Of Society They Would Like To Live In. That's The Kind Of Open Process I Would Like To See. The Issue At Hand Here Is Finding Unity On The Greater Rules. Afterwards, A Text Will Be Developed And Presented To Parliament.

Having Experienced Personally And Through My Family The Tragedy Of Chile Is Something Always Present In My Memory. I Do Not Want Events Of That Nature Ever To Happen Again, And I Have Dedicated An Important Part Of My Life To Ensuring That And To The Reunion Of All Chileans.
