Chilean Socialist Government loses ground in its effort to hide corruption .

Chilean socialist government loses ground in its great effort to hide lethal corruption and fund troubles.

Almost 500 million dollars have been apparently lost from educational funds, 600.000 million dollars misused in public transport and also stolen funds from social programs have shown an ill government.

The executive is according progressively less attention to the poorest. More than half of Chilean citizens said that they were less enthusiastic than usual with the president proposals- also the highest percentage ever. There is no freedom when Chilean people become completely dissatisfied.

The crux of the problem is that the president prefers to hide corruption and continues giving benefits to her coalition allies and left minorities rather than to be right for everyone.

Slowing economy, inflation, rising violence, record levels of delinquency, corruption in government offices, lack of clear public political policies, auditing and public transparency in the use of public funds are the unsolved problems.

Thus, there is no question that Chile has heightened the need for better governance to manage the national problems. Chile needs a better thinker, equipped with a powerful framework to analyze and identify possible solutions to the different challenges instead of a set of adventures and experiments that have to do less with research and its implications. President Bachelet has not been capable to do it.
