In the framework of his participation in the forum “The social challenge of Latin America” organized by the newspaper El País, the President of the Republic, Gabriel Boric, referred to the economic news of the country and addressed the “mistakes” of his first six months in La Moneda.
In that sense, the President declared that his first mistake was the impasse that occurred with John Kerry, the special presidential envoy of the United States for Climate, at the IX Summit of the Americas in June.

He also indicated that “on the TPP11, which is a difficult debate for the coalitions that support the Government, we should have discussed that a long time ago. And we have been successively postponing the discussion.”
It should be remembered that from the benches of Apruebo Dignidad they postponed the discussion of the treaty -scheduled for last Wednesday- by requesting a “second discussion”, so the vote will resume in the coming weeks by the Senate.
Given this, the head of state said that “now it has been postponed for a week so that there is more discussion, and we are in a strategy, which I consider correct and that I claim, to ask the signatory countries of the TPP11 to have lateral faces to exclude Chapter 9 in particular, which is the dispute settlement, to be able to have more autonomy on the part of the States”.
“But I think ‘tomorrow we see it’ is a mistake and, in politics, and when you govern, you have to be able to make decisions more clearly and not speak primarily through phrases but through actions. I think that, in these six months, has been a very important learning,” he concluded.
