Hasta Luego Presidente Lagos

I disappeared for a few days thanks to a broken computer but now I'm back! Anyway, the Washington Post recently ran an article that chronicles the term of outgoing Chilean president Ricardo Lago. It's sad to see him go after the economic and social turn around brought about by his policies. Hopefully, he'll be re-elected later (consecutive terms aren't allowed under the Chilean constitution). But even more importantly, Chileans must be vigilant in order to continue the successful, moderate policies begun under Lagos and to keep the country from devolving into another dictatorship or other kind of extreme regime. His presidency should be one that other Latin American countries emulate.

Washington Post article on the subject.
