How's life in Chile? And is Sanchez going to stay? 😀
Chile is weird. We took a huge boost of quality in life during the 90s and we are still kinda living from that boom.
Chile follows political patterns more related to the european parlamentary politics. A clear centre-right, a clear centre-left. All the other south american countries deviate from that pattern. However the chilean political class is inherently corrupt so as a result it has neglected some very important aspects so I expect the country to degenerate into chaos soon because we have an awful pension system which will increase people living a poverty and at the same time we are having a lot of immigration on an incredibly racist country( Chile is not used to foreigners because we are literally the last part of the world and we have strong geographical barriers, Trump would be jealous if he knew chilean geography).
Our next goverment will be lead by a corrupt right wing businessmen which wont resolve any structural problem. The future of our country depends on how good the left wing president we eventually choose ends up being at politics. Unfortunaly the masses are horrible at picking presidents because unless you have been actually involved in politics you miss the small details so its a russian roulette.
With regards to Alexis Sanchez, I trust the english media more than the chilean one for that stuff, I dont know whether he will stay or leave. I hope he goes to another league because Im a big Liverpool fan ( unfortunaly given that it looks like we are going to throw another CL qualification away for the second straight year running).
