To grasp who we are discussing, here is what Lucila Godoy said about Monvel: 'The best poetess of Chile, but more than that: one of the great poetesses of our America, close to Alfonsina Storni for the richness of her temperament, and to Juana de Ibarbourou for her spontaneity.' Our Nobel Prize winner places her comadre (literally, she was the godmother of her daughter) at the pinnacle of Latin American poetry. And Monvel knew how to leverage such an impressive introduction.

They are attracting individuals, particularly from vulnerable sectors, who end up as 'cannon fodder' in a foreign war. Several neighboring countries have already prohibited this practice due to its implications for security and the fight against organized crime. As Foreign Minister Lavrov clearly stated, 'Mercenarism is a dangerous practice; it comprises individuals who only know how to commit terrorist acts, shoot, and kill.'

Why must an individual invest so much time and effort to reconstruct their own pension history? Knowing the balance in a retirement account or understanding how that amount was reached should not be complicated. Yet, when documents do not align or discrepancies arise in the records, members may face a daunting task that shouldn't solely be their responsibility.

Both governments share the same economic script. Emmanuel Macron abolished the Wealth Tax (ISF) in 2018, replacing it with a tax that excludes stocks, bonds, and business shares. José Antonio Kast, on the other hand, enacted a neoliberal reform package that lowers the corporate tax from 27% to 23%, with an estimated fiscal cost of $3.215 billion.

This budget reflects the shared vision of those wishing to diminish the state and erode rights. We, all of us, stand on the opposite side with a common proposal where the state and public policy ensure redistribution, justice, rights, and equality.

The evolving dynamics between religion and governance in Chile are raising concerns about the secular nature of the state, prompting questions about who truly holds power in a society where religious influences seem to intertwine with politics.

The logic of financial capitalism explains why the promised miracle will not occur. Profitability is increasingly measured by the immediate returns on capital, not by the ability to produce goods or create jobs. Building a factory in Chile involves years of risk and regulation while buying U.S. Treasury bonds is instantaneous. What is rational for individual entrepreneurs can be destructive for the country's development.

From state universities, we are concerned about the threats to various educational projects due to an unjust funding system, yet we emphasize: state universities do not exist to adhere to a neoliberal profitability logic. Their social profitability lies in training professionals, developing research, producing knowledge, contributing to regional development, and serving the country.

Sovereignty is also at stake in the capacity to decide which economic activities are promoted, what investments are authorized, and for whom natural common goods are exploited. What President Kast has endorsed effectively surrenders Chile's autonomy, promoting, for instance, the safeguarding of supply chains for what Trump labels as "critical minerals" for U.S. economy and security, while they are strategic for Chile.
