translated from Spanish: The Catholic University with former President Eduardo Frei Montalva debt

Lord Director: Eduardo Frei Montalva is without doubt one of the Presidents relevant that it has had the country. He was founder of the national phalanx, a spin-off of the conservatism that intended to follow the principles of the Social doctrine of the Catholic Church along with an ideal humanista-cristiano. On the other hand, it was the symbol of the third way in those years, proposing a different to the socialism and the capitalism political solution.
From this account, it is not possible to deny the Christian role and its proximity to the Christian ideas that the former President Frei had. The former President is a graduate of law from the Catholic University, and years later Professor within the same institution (before actively entering politics). Given the importance that had, one would believe that the University, and in particular the Faculty of law of the University would give great importance or tribute to who was a President of the nation. However, the situation is not so.
The institution for some reason that is unknown don’t usually you pay homage in the way that is one of the most important graduates that the University has had, and one of the only Presidents who have left this institution (the other graduated from the University that has s) «gone President is Sebastián Piñera). On the other hand, figures such as Jaime Guzmán receive a strangely different treatment and praise of your image that is not given to Frei Montalva. Just for context: in the Central House of the University there are two rooms in the name of Jaime Guzmán, and there are buildings on the Campus San Joaquin of the institution on behalf of businessmen (Anacleto Angelini building or complex Andrónico Luksic Abaroa), but Frei Montalva no has been given or if you want a sample of importance within the institution.
The Catholic University is clearly indebted to the image of the former President Frei Montalva, who no doubt is a sign of the social doctrine of the Church and who in his mandate represented ideals that not away for nothing of Christianity. How is it possible that a Christian Democrat who was President does not have nor a sample of as tribute to someone completely close to dictatorship if it is honored within the institution?
