Apollonia Accuses Shiela E. Of Profiting Off of Prince
"Apollonia went on Facebook and really destroyed Chile. She said, she's a phony, she's somebody who desperately is taking advantage of the relationship she had with prince now that he's gone, despite the fact that apparently allegedly he refused to talk to her, the last 5 years of his life, I do not know anything about that, but that's pretty interesting. It's kind of tough to choose aside. Because I know apollonia fairly well. I don't know she'll eat. I kind of have to lean toward apolloni. But it's just kind of, the whole thing, well, you know what, what can we expect? Prince was such a lady's man. Prince was such a guy, such a pussy hound. Pardon the expression. This guy had pink strawberry around him constantly. And if you don't know what that means, I'm sure you can figure it out. But according to Rolling Stone magazine, in addition to being featured in the show that's airing, well, when I say tonight, I mean Tuesday night. Let's go crazy. The Grammy salute to prince. Sheila E. has a new single out called lemon cake. What she says is a tribute to prince. That's the shit that got apollonia real pissed off and she started getting ready to battle when she read that. She went after her on Facebook. She said, you know what? Sheila, you're so desperate to be relevant. Prince refused to acknowledge you for 5 years before his death because of your lies. You can't continue to fool our prince fans any longer. Because I'm here to tell you it's over. Time for the truth. Wow. You know, this is apollonia accusing Sheila E. of profiting off prince's name and his trademark, including some accusations that Sheila E. held some prince themed benefit concerts for music schools that never came to fruition. This is the inside inside shit that most of us will never know. But apollonius swears, prince was so angry because of all chilies alleged lies. Apollonius says Sheila E.'s bio was filled with lies. And apparently he sent her legal letters because he felt she was slandering him.

Prince’s Girls Battle It Out on the 4th Anniversary of His Death
"But listen, today marks the fourth anniversary of prince's death. Can you believe can you believe it's been four years? Oh my God. You know, I know, I mean, I knew the guy and I knew him pretty, pretty well. So whenever people like that die, it's a, it's a weird thing for me and I always have to make the death or the anniversary part of the show. But I will say, I'm pretty sure prince would be disappointed to know that the occasion is being marked by one of his former collaborators, apollonia, the beautiful apollonia, she's been ripping Sheila E., a new asshole. Sheila E., the drum, the drum playing former protege of prince, we all know her. Glamorous life, that whole thing. I didn't know that apolloni and Chile had a thing, but they are not happy with each other. And this is all coming to a head on the fourth anniversary of prince's death.

"Okay, you can't say really bizarre conversations and not give us an example. Well, no, I just, I think this always just happens with hitchhiking in Chile. I mean, I had one guy telling me that the pumas were eating all of his cows and stuff. And it was just something that I don't know. Yeah. I think with the hitchhiking people just want to, they just want to tell you everything about their lives. So everything comes out and you never really know what to say, but it's really. Well, in terms of having conversations with locals, you are fluent in Spanish. If someone is not how easy it is it going to be to get around this region. I think it does pose its challenges if you don't speak any Spanish. I would strongly recommend getting some of the basics, getting a little phrase book. Part of the issue is that Chilean Spanish, the pronunciation of it, is utterly bizarre. I describe it a bit as the glaswegian of Spanish. For people who've not been to Glasgow, I have a very standard English accent in Glasgow. You probably think they're speaking another language because you don't understand them. And it's effectively the same with Chile and Spanish. So even if you do know some Spanish, you might struggle. But even though the level of English isn't enormous in the region, there is enough to get by and like I said, the people are so friendly that they will do their best to kind of understand what you're saying. If you had to summarize this region in three words, what three words are you going to use? Absolute hiking perfection. Excellent. And your favorite hike of all the ones you've mentioned or have not? I think my favorite hike is the sort of four day traverse of sarto Castillo. Okay, where we started. Oh, excellent. And again, Steph is the author of the moon Chile guidebooks, so if you want to read more of a writing, you can certainly read it there, but if we wanted to send people to the best post on Chile that you have at world worldly adventurer dot com, where are we going to send them to? Yeah, so I actually have an article that is dedicated to cala de rostral, and it is literally just cadet de rostral. So as long as you can spell it, you can find it. Well, and I'll be spilling it in the show notes and how blue linked to that article as well as to all the other places so that you don't have to wonder how to spell. For instance. Which I can't even say. Excellent. Steph, thanks so much for coming back on amateur traveler. Both back again this week as well as back again from 5 years ago to share with us your love for Chile. Thank you so much for having me.

Chilean Voters Overwhelmingly Reject Proposed Leftist Constitution
"We were talking this morning about the kind of near miss in Chile. I think the reason I'm interested in Chile is because this is a prosperous country in South America. And it's prosperous because of markets, it's prosperous because of an explicit commitment to free market principles. And for this reason, the election of this Gabriel Boric, this leftist actually a communist in his youth, very bad guy. Very disturbing because I suppose what it could be is that because Chile is prosperous. They feel like they can take a chance. Well, and I have to say in chiles in the Chilean society, this whole notion of this wokeness has reared its ugly head down there. And so when he campaigned, he made the right wing candidate. I can't remember his name right now. Appear as a hateful, you know, a xenophobic. It didn't like indigenous people, didn't like, you know, people of color and Jose Antonio cast. Right cast. That's right. And so anyway, so that was kind of his, oh, and immigrants, immigrants. He hated immigrants. That was another thing. Very, very similar to the way that the Democrats behave in America. So he was testing the viability of this kind of woke politics.

The March of Leftism Across South America
"Want to talk about the march of leftism across South America, very troubling development, and we've seen it happen in recent months and in recent years. Now, of course, we know a lot about Venezuela. I talk about it in the podcast W, of course, talks about it a lot as well. But a number of other countries, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, even Chile, and Chile was kind of the most unkindest cut of all. And what I mean by that is that Chile has actually enjoyed an economic boom because of capitalism because of free market policies. In fact, free market policy is put into effect. With the advice of American economists like Milton Friedman and going back, almost 50 years or 50 years or more now. Chile created a pension system that produced a decent provision for people as they got into old age. Again, it was a pension system, not like America's social security plan, but a pension system that's invested in the market and as the market went up people saw their fortunes become a lot more comfortable and be able to provide for them when they needed it. And your Chile of all places pivoted to the left by electing a real far leftist. In fact, somebody who has in the past been associated with communism, a guy named Gabriel borik. An activist who came marching in promised a kind of new Chile. In fact, said that he was going to rewrite the Chilean constitution. He says the constitution was put into effect onto a dictator Augusto Pinochet. We're going to redo the whole constitution. There was a referendum in 2020 Anna majority. In fact, a decisive majority of chileans voted, yes, we do need a new constitution.

"Al Jean avoids my eyes as he recounts what happened to him that day. These are difficult memories. He struggles to open up at first. His girlfriend's house survived the quake, so they were spared injury. But his own home wasn't so lucky. When I got there, my house was completely destroyed, he says. Everyone inside died under the rubble. His mom and brother weren't at home and survived. Still, for L gene, the loss was unmanageable. He remembers the days that followed, neighbors pulled corpses out from the rubble. He was weak with grief. His cousin was among the hundreds of thousands dead. If we want to eat. One and a half million were displaced, like oh, Jean. They had the sleep somewhere. They brought tents, sheets, anything they could find to build shelter on some open land. Here's a PBS NewsHour report describing how Haitians who had lost their homes built a quote constellation of teeming cities within a city. Settlements have no running water, no garbage collection, few systems for collecting human waste, the Haitian government is scrambled to put together a plan to house hundreds of thousands of people before the spring rains begin, even as new makeshift camps spring up on every empty patch of ground. In the wake of the disaster, while thousands moved into these tent cities, some return to homes in the countryside. Others went overseas. In fact, over the next decade, thousands were forced to leave the country altogether. Many ended up in Brazil. Because Brazil was getting ready to build for the Olympics for the World Cup. They needed manual labor. They needed a workers. This is garling Joseph. Again, an advocate who works with Haitian immigrants along the U.S. Mexico border. We heard from her in episode one. So as part of that program, people went to Brazil and they were part of the hood that went there. That's right, those soccer stadiums teeming with international fans during the 2014 World Cup. Haitians helped build some of those. Some Haitians ventured even further to the skinny mountainous country at the far southwest edge of the continent. Chile. And some went to both countries. One after the other. It took AO genes several years to get to Chile. Those final years in Haiti were tough. He lived two years in a tent city. Then his mom was killed in an attempted robbery. In mama. I didn't know what to do. He says, because it was her. My mom, who helped me with everything. It was time for Eugene to leave Port-au-Prince. A cousin who had been living in Chile since 2012 did a solid. He convinced Al Jean to join him abroad. He bought his plane ticket and promised to let him crash with him. Eugene agreed. He still remembers the cold winter day in 2015 when he got off the plane in Santiago Chile. And see the imagery. The cold told me welcome. It hit me in the stomach, he says. That's when I realized I'm not in my country anymore. Chile became home for L gene, and many other Haitian migrants. But a sudden rise in immigration to Chile from Haiti and elsewhere, eventually led open doors to close. By 2018, Chile had become a more hostile place to outsiders. Which eventually sparked thousands of Haitians to pack up their lives in Chile and head north to the Texas border with Mexico, continuing their Odyssey in pursuit of a better life. Texas public radio and the Houston chronicle spent months reporting on this story. We went to the forest of Columbia, Mexican migrant shelters. We spoke with Haitians across the Americas in person through WhatsApp and video calls with folks in Santiago Chile in Monterey Mexico. The people who can best tell this story. Who can help us understand why so many people took this perilous journey. And how immigration policies in the Americas played such a pivotal and in some cases devastating role in their lives.

Besides the chili mountain air, he had to adjust to a new language, a new culture, but eventually he was able to get on his feet. Because Chile had a strong economy, with lots of jobs for immigrants like him. During the 90s and early 2000s, she started doing very well and also chillers, you might know, is the experiment of neoliberalism. That's Chilean immigration expert. Marcia Vera Espinosa from Queen Margaret university in Edinburgh. So the country really is, you know, portraying themselves as a very good model in the South American context. Chile also didn't require a special Visa from Haitians to get there like other countries. They could arrive as tourists and switch their Visa when they found a job. Words started to spread, Chile became an immigration destination. And at first, local businesses welcomed the influx. People from the business organizations, they were like, yeah, chili's growing so much that we need migration and we need labor, you know? Because we are small countries, so we really need labor. But Chile wasn't really prepared for an influx of foreigners. Partly because of the country's really unique geography. Here's a YouTube travel guide.

"We're very, very lucky to have them with us. Palette, let me start with you. Chile experienced a really deep social unrest in 2019 and today it's writing a new constitution that's quite extraordinary to watch from the outside. What role do you think the freedom of press plays in this debate? Well, a freedom of express and the debate around a free press. It's one of the important topics in debate in the constitutional process. And I think this has highlight some of the ongoing debate in Chile about how much do we need and how much do we need to protect freedom of expression. But at the same time, to reach extend, we, as journalists, we who value journalism should be addressed some of our frauds as communicators of those barriers that have impaired us to fulfill our mission. I mean, in terms of diversity, in terms of exclusion, in terms of being able to really read the needs of our children society and to express them in a way that can really inform the public debate. So I think those two aspects are in the debate today. Freedom of the press and freedom of expression of core has an important role in our constitutional process. And I think it has opened a debate about the need for a strong freedom of press to protect freedom of prayers as the base for other rights in our society. But at the same time, it has opened a conversation and it should be, I think, it should be an ongoing conversation about which are our flaws as media. We are our problems in terms of diversity, in terms of women leadership, in terms of being able to read the needs of society and to be able to express them in the public debate in order to have a more healthy political democratic debate..

Is America a Democracy or Republic?
"Is America a democracy or are we a republic? This is a question that I've been hearing about really for many years and sometimes I'll also speak of American democracy and inevitably I'll get through the website or peer somewhere, you know, I just, I like your podcast and all, but I just want to tell you, America is not a democracy, we're a republic. And this is sort of got me thinking not only whether that's correct, whether this is a meaningful distinction. We're going to talk about this in some depth today, but why people say that. What are they trying to get at? What are they trying to say? We are not in order to emphasize what we what we are. Now, the two terms democracy and republic have related but different meanings. Now I should say at the outset that both terms are so routinely abused. Not just in their kind of sloppy usage in the United States or in the west, but all kinds of tyrannical regimes will appropriate the title of democracy, the title of republic. So I think, for example, about I remember from the 1970s, when Pinochet was a dictator of Chile, he would be like, I'm the president of the republic of Chile. Well, Chile wasn't a republic in any meaningful sense, but Pinochet wanted to make it seem like he was a man of the people. And that's really what republic means a government that is accountable to and for operating in a sense in the interest and the welfare of the people.

So I don't think. I think they will block everything. Ah, you see, oh, so okay, I see what you're saying. Well, basically, even if he wants to be progressive, they basically if the rights to imagine the right wing coalition plus the Republican Party and the evangelicals have half of the Senate and the Senate has a power base. Wow. Welcome to welcome to the United States. That's basically what Chile's becoming. It feels that way. Holding the penis are pushing for giving the people the power to bypass Congress, you know, because when you have a new constitution and the constitution will be ready to be ratified in September, they say. So basically, the new government will have to implement this new constitution. Because when you have a constitution, it's not like the constitution changes the world. You need to start dismantling things. And building things that will materialize that constitution. And therefore, the government needs to pass lots of laws. At the beginning. And if you don't have the Congress with you, what are you going to do?

"If elected, we're doomed, people that are, you know, sexual dissidents or political dissidents are going to be persecuted. So it really, the fear. A brought back to dictatorship at Brock back in return to Pinochet, so it kind of maybe in your opinion. Convinced people that remembered that time to be like, I'm not going back to that. That he could have picked up votes that way as well. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, but it was not real. How was it not real? In a way in the formal, he was just a regular candidate basically going for kind of like responsible transformations. And to write, he was talking to this and to write, okay? And then in the social media, he was talking to the popular sectors who do not vote for him, because he packed this thing on a bathroom, you know? That this is the problem that they know. Everybody knows this story. So they called for each Amarillo. They yellowish, because you know, they're subservient to power, the changes, you know, from one where the heat is basically he goes. This is part of this his reputation among the popular sectors on the left. So basically the only way to get those votes was through fear. So in the informal arena, he was like the leader of the anti fascist coalition. Got it. All right, so yeah. And then make your last point because I have a couple more questions before we rub up. Well, let me always listen attention because basically he invited the former parties of the concertation. So the Christian Democrats that you remember that they supported the coup in 1973, and then have privatized half of Chile, yeah. The Socialist Party, all the parties that governed, basically neoliberalism for 30 years. He invited them to this new coalition against, you know, to save democracy. So we have this weird thing of a kind of a neo liberal anti fascist coalition that is not really there. And therefore he won. So you asked me the first question, what happened that, you know, December 19th. I think fear of fascism won that election. Wow. And not necessarily. It's fear of fascism not necessarily like the left is back in Chile and it's back and here we go. That's too simplistic. So I guess that's my big question here. It's like, so is it too simplistic to conclude that well, what do you think the left is in Latin America now? Is it becoming more of like a traditional neoliberal type place where you see the center left candidates or is it still like, you know, does it have a future still in sort of its traditional historical roots of what the left has been in Latin America and how does Chile reflect that and what do you think in general about just like the left and Latin America right now after this election and even after the one in Honduras? Yes, no, I think a bodge is not left as we understand the left kind of worrying here in Latin or else you're talking. Oh, and Latino, I mean, I know what you mean. I mean, okay, I've got you. I got you. He's more like a Democrat, like a Democrat from the U.S., liberal, in a way that they are for, you know, gay rights and for, you know, giving special accommodations for women and creating a better society. Yes. But they're not really left in the sense that they are not going to change the mode of accumulation and dispossession. Yeah. Capitalism is still winning. Capitalism, okay? They don't want that. They want to become government, and they're going to govern. And they want to make things better, reformist in a way. So I don't think he's the left. However, there was a recent development in the constituent convention, which is very hopeful. And remember that in that convention, there are around 18% or 20% of the convention is independent. All the rest is party driven. So it is kind of like a super majority of people that are for the reproduction of the system and changes in the margins in a way. And they independence have been very kind of scrambling, you know? From the first 6 months, they got thrown under the bus that couldn't put their things in the agenda. However, they learned and it was so incredible to see because the new precedent and vice president of the constituent convention, there was new elections for this 6 months where the articles will be written, so therefore now there's more power because there is the agenda setting and all these things that happen when you are by a president and by president and you can kind of organize the discussion is that the two people elected were elected because the independence decided to use their power and block candidates from other coalitions that had voted against giving binding power to the people during the constituent process. Only they allowed the people that have voted a favor off an initiative that was launched by one of the independents to give basically this popular initiative power to the people to call a plebiscite or to put things directly into the constitution. And the two people that were elected, they both voted in favor. And this is because they are like 20 people. Yeah, so now, so I know what you're saying. So basically it's safe to say this is the rise of the center left in Latin America. That's basically what we're seeing more of in terms of people that are reaching presidential power. And if Bolsonaro loses in Brazil, later this year. Yes. That's probably what's going to happen as well. The pendulum as they say in the traditional Latin American sphere, it's not going from one way to another. There's a little bit more of a medal that we're seeing. That's sort of like my last thought. I'm also on it, and I think we need to consider it borage is government is going to be a hench government..

"Pushing for making free college. So very kind of Bernie Sanders before and Bernie was in the kind of in this idea. And then to eliminate debt because we also have a dad that is sponsored by the state, but it's a heavy debt. So this was the movement. And he came out of that, he became representative in the lower house, still is. And basically, he leads that, which is this kind of new left coalition that has kind of center left and also now is in coalition with the Communist Party in Gran alliance called approval digital approval so he was the approval of the inaugural plebiscite. So the play side that we had in 2020 when Chile decided in the Chilean decided to go forward with a new constitution. So the approval, the approval of that, became kind of a coalition in itself. So basically, it has that name and the midan is dignity because that was the banner of the movement. So that he is the leader of that coalition. Okay. You're breaking it down, but talk to me a little bit before we talk about the prospects and all these coalitions because now it's because it is not, I think one of the biggest misperceptions that I want to talk to you is about where is the left stand in the context of Chile and also in the concerts of Latin America right now. But that's a separate question because I do want to know a little bit more about borek. Like tell me more about him and tell me what he's done since he is one because it was pretty historical. This is a big deal. Like this 30 something student movement protester is the president of Chile and the left in a given understanding the context of leftist politics in Chile, talk to me about all that first. Yes, but you know what? As you speak of it, and I have to read it in the news elsewhere. It sounds more radical than it is. Right. Because what happened is that Gaviria voyage has already been around ten years in politics. Ten years is a long time to being politics in a way. It works you down. You know, rebellious nature was quickly become more responsible quote unquote. And he more like a dealer. So he has now a reputation for being a guy that negotiates and makes packs. And this is a very important piece of information. You remember that we spoke about the how the plebiscite came about as agreement between a government that was very in the corner with no support that coal basically all the political party leaders to create and exit packed basically to see how this is going to end this constituent process and they impose a series of rules. The more important one is that basically the two thirds super majority that every article of the constitution must have. And that gives by basically a veto power to the status quo forces, basically that the reproduced system, right? So the guy that actually did that was governor. Everything started and we know that after because one of the guy over the deputies from the right actually spilled the beans in one of the TV show saying that this packed began in a bathroom in a men's bathroom between a senator from the ultra wide party this udi party and Gabriel borage that they met in the men's room in between negotiations and then they packed it and he agreed. Okay, so let's stop for a second because I think this is a point that is clearly getting missed, I think in Latino communities in the United States, when they start thinking about the context of Latin America in Chile. So you're saying basically that would he be someone like under this Lopez or lord who's kinda sort of gotten more political and more seasoned and might not have started as a leftist on all the way on the extreme, but now is a little bit more political is going down that path or is he still kind of true to the cause? I guess it's my first question. Yes, so he will become a local sovereign lord I would say in power because one thing is to see people outside of power and the other is with power. And I think at least my appreciation is he's very egocentric. So he was a very kind of like leader like in this manner that they believe that they are special features, basically, and they need to rule kind of thing. He's born to do this. So I think he's going to go that path. This is fascinating. Can I just, I know you're going to say, I want you to continue, but this is fascinating because I think it brings up the issue of the Latin American president as sort of egocentric individual I think of, you know, I think of naive bouquet when you mention things like this. You know what I'm saying? Please say more of this because this is fascinating. I am in. I am so in with this conversation Camila continue. The press, especially the right-wing press, The Economist, the Financial Times, you know, all this newspapers, they frame this second round between these cast guy who is a pina should love her, basically. And borich, who is very kind of center left, like very social Democrat in a way, but very within the bounds. He wants to be responsible. He talks about responsible transformations all the time. So it's like, he's not going to go and push the boundaries. He's not going to do that. He's just going to go within the margins and negotiate with the right wingers. This is kind of like how I perceive it. And the press has kind of misconstrued this between fascism and communism, in a way, like this radical. So this is so interesting because obviously when news came out in the United States, a lot of conservatives, Latino Latino conservatives in the Miami area and other places Latin Americans that I know were like, oh, here comes Chile's villa. You know that this notion of this combination of Chile becoming Venezuela in this whole like exactly what you're saying and see their fascism or communism. There's nothing in between. But you're saying that but each is that's not your take on him. No, he's very he wants stability. So I analyzed. I basically went into the speech. He gave in that first round when he lost the first majority. And he talked about harmony, social peace, social cohesion, a building bridges with the opponents. Things that, you know, Obama would say, you know, that the idea of my partisanship. And I think I read it as, you know, an Obama like person that he comes like with a youth and with the touch and now everything and the campaign in between. This is a very interesting, because they're campaigning between. So how did he get 56% of the vote? Because he was, you know, due to fail in a way he got more than a million new votes out and how did they get it? Doing a double strategy. So the strategy he did like formal, like the advertisement in TV, his own speeches, what he said, and he's supporters who were saying on TV was very kind of looking forward and very kind of like the hope we were going to make things better and looking more like the hope campaign of Obama. However, in the informal realm in the social media, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram everywhere, the chats on WhatsApp, it was all about this is the only alternative against fascism..

"Happen and I still wanted to talk about this historic moment in Chile and still it's within a month, so we're good. It's still within a window frame and so this is what we're going to talk about it. So I have this fabulous guest from London who has already been on the show last year to talk about Chile and we're just going to bring our fabulous guests from London on right now. So fabulous guests from London. Welcome back to Latino rebels radio. Can you say who you are and what you do? Hi, Julio, yes. My name is Camilla Vergara. I'm a journalist historian and political scientist, political theorist. Working on plebeian rights and philosophy in the University of Cambridge, writing a book actually on it. Man, you're just, yeah, I love it. University of Cambridge, very, very, very British, very UK. So listen for those, you know, there are probably some people who are listening to this that probably don't know what happened on December 19th in Chile. I mean around December 19th, sorry. I don't think that was the exact date, but it was the Sunday around then. Tell us just in a nutshell what has happened in Chile in the previous month? Yes, Julia. You were correct. December 19th was the only. Oh, good. Dang, you see, I just wanted to make sure. As a journalist, I'm like yes. Because sometimes we report a story and I'm like, oh wait, did we report that the next day? So let me just make sure. So thank you. Yes, yes. All right, so I was right. All right, I was correct. So continue. I think to understand the what happened that day, we need to understand what happened before, because basically this was a two round presidential election. So as we know, also in the U.S., the first round also is very definitive in a way. We need to know who the candidates are, who is going to make it to the second round here in America is not so much because we have a two party system in Chile where several candidates. And one of the candidates was neo fascist, but very open. Pinochet apologists, Jose past was this guy? They're still out there. Peanut che apologists are still there. They're probably in their prime. This is exactly so his name was Jose Antonio cast, right? Yes. So he is, you know, the son of a Nazi soldier that came to Chile with fake Red Cross papers, okay? And he went immigrated to Chile, did some business. One of his sons Miguel caste worked for the dictatorship and he was like the central banker and the minister of labor and a very important figure in the dictatorship. And this guy Jose Antonio is the brother of amiel. And he is a lawyer, and he has been forever in the party that is going to be the democrata independent. You need to independent unity for democracy and has nothing for democracy because basically it was created in 1983 this party in the middle of the dictatorship as a vehicle for the kind of Pinochet ideas to move into democracy. So this guy was a deputy and in a lower chamber of this party for many years. And then in 2016, he exited this party because he was upset that the basically the right wingers have become too liberal. Party wait, a new party that he named, but Republican or the Republican Party. Found that this party in 2019, but interestingly, only after he met with this alliance for a concerted thought inaugurated by Alan seers in the U.S., which is basically the global alliance in defense of freedom that brings together all the conservative ideology that goes against gender, what they call gender ideology, the idea that they're exist gay people out there, basically they're set. So there's an alliance between the far right and the evangelical community, which both of them want to basically to preserve the traditional family. So this new party, he is the presidential candidate of that party. A party that had basically the photo of Pinochet everywhere, you know, this is like they can't do it. So it's very obvious in a way. Yes, so this guy was proposing things that were openly fascist. For example, to create an alliance international alliance to persecute the radicals that left wing radicals that have been at the center of this popular uprising in Chile because the thesis of the far right was that this was a conspiracy from international sources, basically. Okay. Gotcha. And therefore, this kind of candidate got the first majority in that first round. So in the first with the 7 parties, Jos Antonio Cass led was the vote the top folk at her. How much percentage did he get in the first round? He got a 20 let me see 26%. Okay, so like a quarter of the country. Give or take. Okay. And he basically thought this was a win and that basically they were going to take over. And it is true. If you did the math, the other guy, and we're going to talk about the other guy, because the other guy is going to be president. Yeah, the guy who won. We need to talk about the guy who won a second. He was second place. And if you did the math, basically cast would win in the second round by like a 100,000 votes. Like, if the turnout was the same, he would lose the election. So basically, he needed to go and look for all the people that didn't vote, where 53% of the electorate. So imagine 53% of the people didn't vote in this. So then basically we get to the runoff and who is the eventual winner? Let's mention his name because he is the president he will be the next president of Chile, and let's talk about him, although the Antonio casting is a movie. That's a Netflix movie. Someone needs to do that. But tell me about the winner. And also the strategy of that winner. Yes. So we encourage he won with a 56% of the vote in the second round. Yeah? And basically what happened? This guy is very young. He's one of the I think the youngest is in his 30s. The youngest president ever in Chile. And he came out of the student movements that began in 2011 around the education in Chile, education in Chile very similar to the U.S., is a completely privatized and is very expensive. So people are getting to that in order to get their kids to college, and now everybody's in debt..

"Fear of a brought back to dictatorship at Brock back in return to Pinochet, so it kind of May be in your opinion. Convinced people that remembered that time to be like, I'm not going back to that. That he could have picked up votes that way as well. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, but it was not real. How was it not real? In a way in the formal, he was just a regular candidate basically going for kind of like responsible transformations. And to write, he was talking to this and to write, okay? And then in the social media, he was talking to the popular sectors who do not vote for him, because he packed it this thing on a bathroom, you know? That this is the problem that they know everybody knows this story. So they called for each Amarillo. They yellowish because, you know, they're subservient to power that changes, you know, from one where the heat is basically he goes. This is part of this his reputation among the popular sectors on the left. So basically the only way to get those votes was through fear. So in the informal arena, she was like, the leader of the anti fascist coalition. Got it. All right, so yeah. And then make your last point because I have a couple more questions before we wrap up. Well, let me that it always was an attention because basically he invited the former parties of the concertation. So the Christian Democrats that you remember that they supported the coup in 1973, and then have privatized half of Chile, the Socialist Party, all the parties that governed, basically neoliberalism for 30 years. He invited them to this new coalition against, you know, to save democracy. So we have this weird thing of a kind of a neo liberal anti fascist coalition that is not really there. And therefore he won. So you ask me the first question, what happened that December 19th? I think fear of fascism warned that election. Wow. And not necessarily. It's fear of fascism not necessarily the left is back in Chile and it's back and here we go. That's too simplistic. So I guess that's my big question here. It's like, so is it too simplistic to conclude that well, what do you think the left is in Latin America now? Is it becoming more of like a traditional neoliberal type place where you see the center left candidates or is it still like, you know, does it have a future still in sort of its traditional historical roots of what the left has been in Latin America and how does Chile reflect that? And what do you think in general about just like the left in Latin America right now after this election, and even after the one in Honduras? Yes, no, I think borage is not left as we understand the left kind of worrying here in Latino rails. We're talking. Oh, and Latino, I mean, I know what you mean. I mean, okay, I got you. I got you. He's more like a Democrat, like a Democrat from the U.S., liberal, in a way, that there are for, you know, gay rights and for, you know, giving special accommodations for women and creating a better society. Yes, but they're not really left in the sense that they are not going to change the mode of accumulation in this position. Yeah. They're not going to. Capitalism is still winning. Capitalism, okay? They don't want that. They want to be government, and they're going to go burn. And they're going to make things better, reformist in a way. So I don't think he's the left. However, there was a recent development in the constituent convention, which is very hopeful. Remember that in that convention, there are around 18% or 20% of China is independent. All the rest is party driven. So it is kind of like a super majority of people that are for the reproduction of the system and changes in the margins in a way. And they independence have been very kind of scrambling, you know? From the first 6 months, they got thrown under the bus that couldn't put their things in the agenda. However, they learned and it was so incredible to see because the new precedent and vice president of their constituent convention, there was new elections for this 6 months where the articles will be written, so therefore now there's more power because there is the agenda setting and all these things that happen when you are by a president and by president and you can kind of organize the discussion is that the two people elected were elected because the independence decided to use their power and block candidates from other coalitions. That had voted against giving binding power to the people during the constitution process. Only they allowed the people that have voted a favor of an initiative that was launched by one of the independents to give basically this popular initiative power to the people to call a plebiscite or to put things directly into the constitution. And the two people that were elected, they both voted in favor. And this is grant got it because they are so they were like 20 people that yeah, so now, so they're still, I know what you're saying. So basically it's safe to say this is the rise of the center left in Latin America. That's basically what we're seeing more of in terms of people that are reaching presidential power. And if Bolsonaro loses in Brazil, later this year. Yes. You know, that's probably what's going to happen as well. The pendulum as they say in the traditional Latin American sphere, it's not going from one way to another. There's a little bit more of a middle that we're seeing. That's sort of like my last thought. I'm also on a, I think, we need to consider a government is going to be a hench government. It's not going to be a transformational, you know, a kind of a grand government, because the right wingers have the half of the Congress. So they have so he's got to play. He's got to play with them. So I don't think. I think they will block. Ah, you see, oh, so there's, okay, I see what you're saying. Well, basically, even if he wants to be progressive, basically if the rights to imagine the right-wing coalition plus the Republican Party and the evangelicals have half of the Senate and the Senate has a PowerPoint. Wow, it's like welcome to welcome to the United States. That's basically what Chile's becoming it feels that way. So the holding dependents are pushing for giving the people the power to bypass Congress, you know, because when you have a new constitution and the constitution will be ready to be ratified in September, they say. So basically, the new government will have to implement these new constitution. Because when you have a constitution, it's not like the constitution changes the world. You need to start dismantling things. And building things that will materialize that constitution. And therefore, the government needs to pass lots of laws. At the beginning. And if you don't have the Congress with you, what are you going to do? We can keep talking Camila vulgari, but we're just going to bring you on and just bring you on later in the year to see where how about it is doing. So Camila got it. Thank you so much for being on Latino bubbles radio. Thank you for having me again, Julio. I just want to thank kamila. What a great conversation.

Gabriel Boric, a Former Student Activist, Is Elected Chile’s Youngest President
"We were talking about the election in Chile because I think it's something that maybe signals a larger trend in South America. So the leftist is young guy in his 30s kind of student protest leader is elected pretty decisively by the people of Chile people who have benefited for over a generation of free market policies. So why would people who have had it good one of the most successful economies in South America want to move into leftist direction that they must know jeopardizes the goose that kills the goose that made the golden eggs? Yeah, yeah. Well, as you know, I don't think it's an isolated incident really in South America or North America to be honest. Why would anybody vote for a Democrat, right? Same thing. People are fooled by these people. This young guy, of course, as you know, in Chile, a lot of Venezuelans and Colombians and everybody has been immigrating their illegally. And so he's been kind of having open arms. Policy towards them. Oh, come on over. It doesn't matter if you're illegal who cares, you know, this guy that's running against me hates hates illegals and he's going to stop you. He's going to close the border. So this has kind of that, oh, this is the nice guy image, right? And really truly the people coming from Venezuela are running away from the exact same policies that this guy advocates

"Latin America's wealthiest country has elected in avowed leftist as its next president for three decades Chile has been ruled by Senna Wright and center left presidents, but chileans opted for a change Sunday and elected 35 year old Gabrielle boric, a congressman who came to prominence as a protest leader who helped shut down the streets of Santiago Ryan Dubai is there now. He's a reporter who covers South America for the journal. Good morning. Good morning. Thank you. Thanks for being here. What do we need to know about Gabriel borage? Oh, Gabrielle kind of emerges from this youth movement protest movement back in 2011 he led a large student protest to seek universal free education and university. He had someone who's been very critical of kind of the past 30 years of rule in Chile, which has been kind of centered left and center right. He's accused kind of a centrist president of the last 30 years telling out to neoliberal policies that provided chileans with things like poor pensions, kind of shoddy, public services, kind of high cost of living. That really erupted into large protests in 2019. But he's also someone who is aiming to moderate and which he did so leading up to the runoff vote. He's someone who's kind of proven himself to be able to negotiate with political opponents. And a lot of people kind of see him as someone who will bring about change. I got to Chile while just kind of improving social services, improving public spending as well. How big of a change does he represent? It's quite a bit Gabrielle boy John on Sunday. 56% of the vote. It was better than expected, but a bigger win that a lot of people had expected before. He thanked you later for providing him a mandate. And it was kind of seen as a landslide victory for him. Investors have kind of reacted negatively to his election. So on Monday, the peso fell to an all time low. And the stock market also felt fairly sharply. And he'll need to try to show that what kind of policy he'll advance, I guess, so whether he'll be kind of the more radical leftist policies that he promoted earlier into the campaign and earlier into his political career or more in the more moderate kind of centrist policies that he's promoted kind of leading up to the runoff. So what's he promised to do? His main promise is to address issues of social inequality in economic inequality that have remained in Chile despite years of economic growth that really helped to reduce poverty. He wants to improve public services from healthcare to education. He plans to scrap a private pension model that Chile is used over the last several decades, and that a lot of chileans criticize for providing poor pensions. But he's also said more recently that you'll maintain fiscal discipline. He will promote economic growth and he'll take kind of gradual steps in promoting his agenda. How feasible is this change going to be? I think it's going to be really tough. He doesn't have the Congress split between leftist parties and more conservative parties. So he won't have control over Congress to push through a lot of his reforms. At the same time, Chile has seen really strong economic growth in this year in 2021. But next year, some economists and business people here expecting that it may even enter into a recession. So he'll have to deal with that slowdown in economic growth, plus at the same time inflation is really high. And lastly, he's his election comes as Chile is writing a new constitution, which will have a lot of influence over the future direction of the country, so he'll have to work within those confines to kind of see which way he can go and what reforms he'll be able to dance. Has the pandemic in Chile right now. So things have pretty well come back to normal. It feels in Chile. Coastline in America, all the countries were hit really hard. About 40,000 people died in Chile. The economy contracted about 6 or 7% in 2020. This year, though Chile was very successful in its vaccination campaign, though, it has delivered vaccines to most of the population. It's given boosters to many people and it's even talking about a fourth booster coming next year. So when you go to the street, people are out enjoying restaurants. Everyone's wearing a mask still. They have a vaccine card that you need to show to get into places, but things feel like they've come back to normal. How does Boris fit in with the rest of the leaders in South America? So I think what Voyager represents and what's happening in much of South America, more than kind of a lefty or a right change is backlash against kind of the traditional political parties and politicians in general. For various reasons that emerged during the pandemic that we saw, but where you're there before as well, that chili's case of urge during the 2019 protests really erupted then. But in much of Latin America there's a discontent with the political establishment. So his election, I think, represents that. It's a continuation of that throughout Latin America that we've seen from Brazil to Peru, more recently and some other countries as well. That is Ryan dube. He covers South America for us. Thanks for your time. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. And.

"Support for this podcast and the following message is brought to you by the American Express business platinum card. Got the card that's built for business. By American Express leftist millennial elected president in Chile, after running on higher taxes, a green economy, and greater equality. By Matthew malinowski and Valentina Fuentes, Bloomberg. Leftist Gabriel borek was elected president of Chile on Sunday by a larger than expected margin, giving him a mandate to push for higher taxes, greener industries, and greater equality after a contest focused on discontent over an investor friendly economy that has left many behind. The former student protest leader won 56% of the vote, beating conservative rival Jose Antonio casts 44%. The victory is likely to spook markets that fear interventionist policies. Boric age 35 will take office in March as one of the youngest presidents in the world, and with an ambitious agenda. His win in a runoff paves the way not only for a generational shift, but also for the biggest economic changes in decades for one of Latin America's richest countries, a global financial market favorite. It was a highly polarized campaign that only moderated in the final stretch as both contenders wooed centrists. He will face enormous challenges, including a divided Congress, sharp economic slowdown, the writing of a new constitution, and the lingering threat of social unrest. We can not continue to allow the poor to pay for the inequalities of Chile, ork told thousands of cheering supporters in a fiery victory speech, which also acknowledged all he needs to do to build alliances. We will reach out and build bridges so our citizens can live a better life. He repeated something he told president Sebastian Panera in a conversation between them broadcast after results were announced. The agreements need to be among all chileans and not made behind closed doors. They will meet Monday to begin the transition, cast quickly conceded, and spoke to borik on Sunday evening. Streets across the nation of 19 million were filled with Hawking cars and waving banners and celebration of the changing of the guard, turnout was about 56% of registered voters nearly ten percentage points higher than the first round last month. But Warwick's early focus on outreach has an undeniable logic, as he seeks a set of radical shifts he needs to build a coalition with centrists and hard leftists who have clashed for decades. He will face a divided parliament, so passage of legislation will be difficult, and will require strong negotiating skills and pragmatism, noted Jennifer pribble, Professor of political science at the university of Richmond. Borek describes himself as a moderate socialist, who shuns the hard left models of Cuba and Venezuela. Still, cast and his supporters warned of borek's alliance with the Communist Party as a risk. This is the worst scenario that the markets could have envisioned, said Klaus kampf, portfolio solutions director at credit core capital and Santiago. They were waiting for a much tighter vote, showing a desire for dialog. In a research note, credit corps said the peso could fall about 4% on Monday to between 875 and 885 per dollar, while stocks could sink 10%. Borg's supporters saw cast as a dangerous throwback to the right-wing dictatorship of general Augusto Pinochet due to an emphasis on public order and conservative social mores. Borik, who is unmarried, bearded and tattooed, first gained prominence a decade ago when he led nationwide demonstrations calling for free and high quality education. He ran successfully for lower House deputy in 2013 and was reelected to a second term in a landslide vote. His emphasis on social justice dovetailed with a period of unrest that exploded over a transit fare hike in 2019 and quickly ballooned into a broader movement demanding better healthcare, public transport, and pensions. During the campaign, borik often vowed that if Chile was the birthplace of neoliberalism, it will also be its grave. Borik wants to dismantle some pillars of Chile's economy, such as its private pension funds, which form the bedrock of the local capital markets, he backs higher taxes on both the rich and the nation's crucial mining industry. Chile is the world's biggest copper producer, while also promising to keep government debt in check. In March, borek will take the helm of a nation that's facing unprecedented political upheaval. Social unrest kicked off the process of drafting a new constitution, now being done by a left leaning assembly, which will be put to a national referendum in 2022. He'll have to contend with economic growth that will come to a halt, slowing from a record high near 12% this year to a rate closer to 2%, according to the Central Bank. Policymakers are also raising interest rates quickly to tame soaring inflation, and while Chile still has relatively sound fiscal accounts, the debt to GDP ratio has increased quickly amid pandemic spending. Chilean companies and individuals have moved money abroad at a historic clip over the past few years, weighing on the currency. Regionally, Chile's election follows the triumph of Pedro Castillo in Peru earlier this year, and stands to add momentum to leftist candidates in Colombia and Brazil, which will hold presidential elections next year. Similarly to Chile, both of those countries are facing increasingly polarized politics. Chile's president elect could become the face of Latin America's new left, inspiring other candidates in the region, said Oliver stunkel, Professor of international relations at fun de calio Vargas.

The Domestication of the Potato
"How many foods that we eat today. All around the world simply didn't exist in the old world of africa asia and europe corn chocolate vanilla peppers green beans pumpkins. Tomatoes and squash are all foods that were completely unknown to the peoples of the old world. Perhaps the most important neural food. However was the humble potato. The potato was originally native to south. America it was first domesticated impro- anywheres from five thousand ten thousand years ago. It's really hard to tell because potatoes aren't very well preserved in the archaeological record. But we know that they were being grown. Probably when studies were first being built in mesopotamia specifically they were probably first domesticated around the area of lake titicaca high in the andes mountains. The first confirmed evidence in the archaeological record comes from the year. Thousand five hundred. You're the coastal city of n con just north of lima peru. The potato was the primary food stuff for the incan empire. Potatoes cooked by ancient peruvians. We're not too dissimilar to how they're cook today. They were baked or boiled and might have been mashed. Potato is pretty much have to be cooked in order for the starches in them to be digestible by humans. Some potato varieties had toxic compounds that required soaking and clay and water to leach out the toxic substances one popular way of processing potatoes in the andes was to make this involved repeatedly leaving them outside to freeze and then thawing them. The next day this freeze drying would go on for three to five nights then they would be laid out and stomped on to remove any remaining water. The result would be white. Rock looking thing not too dissimilar from appealed potato but because it was dehydrated it could last for years. Potatoes had been domesticated all the way down the andes mountains to southern patagonia. In what is today chile prior to the arrival of europeans. The first spanish explorers to the region led by pizarro in fifteen thirty to recognize the value of the potato but when they brought them back to europe it was mostly for consumption by the south american people they brought back with them supposedly and i know this because i actually paid a visit. The first place in europe to grow potatoes was the garden at the monastery in guadalupe spain. It was a place that queen isabella frequently visited.
