translated from Spanish: Seen by a talent migrant Santiago: Paulo Freire in Chile

To Santiago so globalised policy and more specifically the democratic policy. If the press is indicative of global interest, the presidential campaign of 1964 became a hypnotic experience whose attention overflowed with much regional. Cables and special reports ratify its hemispheric importance and allow framing the intervention that woke up a polling station had decisive.
The reformist victory of the ´64 had a revolutionary twist and Santiago, as majority electoral plaza, was a sand affected by electoral mobilization. Passion, enthusiasm and emotion seep in photographs and films that recall a campaign almost contentious in gestures and passionate in the words.
Although the bulky democratacristiana militancy autorepresentaba missionary, majorities were less disciplined when met the news of an absolute majority. The celebration of the triumph, for not going any further, was it sufficiently massive, popular and dilated like so that an interested observer as Paulo Freire spoke, below, of euphoria. Newcomer of a Bolivia Altiplano, the Brazilian educator is oxigenó with the street noise.
Above, Frei, Chilean exceptionality privileged craftsman, has awarded its victory a refoundational character. Society, territory and the State itself, politely, promised would be a substantial change in the mutation, new entities would acquire relevance. Freire, precisely, occupationally nested in a network of State and rebuild vast names and enigmatic acronyms organizations. Their performance, labile to the influence of international bodies and ecclesial settled in the city, is remembered for differ from the ejemplarizadora figure of the specialist. Perceptive and receptive, its preference for collective intelligence and co-creation resonate strong in the same town as, half a century later, seeking to become a stronghold for innovation.
As another architect of the reformist ecosystem remembers it, Freire was not the only Brazilian who saw in Santiago an intellectual, but also professional growth opportunity. To its mission, it is necessary to add that of so many other talented migrants who founded libraries with the same ease that made bright University classes. For Freire, without forgetting the conservative antipathies and radical misunderstandings that led to his reflection, the underdeveloped city was an encouragement and an incentive. And their ideas and their passion, a combination rare in these decaffeinated times, resonate for anyone who wants to listen to them.
