In an example of showbiz mirroring reality, the movie La Fuente, has just been released.
It relates the history of Carlo Siri, owner of the Antigua Fuente, a Bar situated in Plaza Baquedano, who throughout the estallido, resisted repeated attempts by the mob to burn his place down.
Regardless of the quality of the movie (the trailer doesn’t look too promising) in this Libero interview he simply, but eloquently gives his account of events, and his tentative, and not very optimistic view of the future, post the Boric clown show.
A reminder of the shit show from just 3 years ago:
His comments on Chile’s recent political past and future are quite interesting.
He admired President Piñera’s intelligence but thought that, by temperament, Piñera was never cut out to be a hero. This was what was demanded in order to successfully face down the orchestrated mutiny Piñera was confronted with in 2019. It didn’t help that none of his so-called political allies lifted a finger to support him.
Regarding Evelyn Matthei, he also admires her intelligence and dedication, but believes that she is surrounded by the same people who refused Piñera in his hour of need.
As for Jeannette Jara, (and Boric), they belong to a class without moral values, capable of anything to gain and maintain power.
So he’s going to vote for Kast, in the hope that he will be strong enough to quash the opposition’s destabilization efforts before another estallido occurs.
And tomorrow is the anniversary of when these very turbulent times began in recent Chile history. I remember it so clearly and the parts on Avenida Barros Luco that became the antifa occupied playground virtually every Friday here in San Antonio till the scamdemic modified their plan.
Yes for us it was the end of a mostly idyllic run that started several years prior. Chile still had a decent intl reputation. Expats were still interested in visiting and possibly moving to Chile.
Then the communists couldnt leave well enough alone and they began to pull down their pants,
squat, and defecate on Chile. The estallido…aka the poop sandwich that preceeded the coup de grace: covid
Whats worse is “it worked” for the communists more or less. The rest of Chile gave in to the communist terrorists so eventually similar methods will be employed again especially if they dont get fellow communists elected by hook or by crook.
