Piñera
Lima: LAN, Chifa, and Walter the Language Guy (Peru Part 1)
Our journey began at 4:30 in the morning in the Santiago airport: a group of 11 bleary-eyed Gringos carefully checking and rechecking our bags, and getting ready for the trip. Most had been able to grab a few hours of sleep before coming; I, unfortunately, had not.
I’d been kept up writing a last-minute piece for the Santiago Times, a quick tale of my personal take on Chilean wine, accompanied by the note to my editor “I think this is what you were talking about…but please let me know if I’m just way off the mark and I’ll figure out something else,” thinking to myself that this had better be on the mark, or there was no way I’d be able to fix it in time while on my trip.
CHILE’S FINANCE MINISTER PUMMELS PIÑERA
| Thursday, 23 July 2009 |
Conservative presidential candidate Sebastián Piñera’s economic proposals range from misguided to erroneous, Finance Minister Andrés Velasco said in an interview published Wednesday in the daily El Mercurio.
Velasco, one of President Michelle Bachelet’s few ministers to have held onto his job since the 2006 inauguration, and regularly the most popular member of the administration aside from Bachelet herself, defended the government’s stimulus plans and criticized Piñera’s plans as either already in place by the government, “factually incorrect” or simply “inexplicable paradoxes.”
