Historian Patricia Arancibia Clavel returns with a new episode of her interview program “Cita con la historia” (A date with history). In the framework of the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of “Once”, she talks with witnesses and protagonists of the UP government years. In this episode, the guest is economist Sebastián Edwards, who talks about his time in the Socialist Party; the role he had in Dirinco, the institution that set prices, when he was only 19 years old; his disenchantment with the revolution and his current view of the Popular Unity government. Notable quotes from the program: 1- “I lived that stage very intensely. It was 1,042 days and each day was like a decade” 2- “The attraction that the Cuban revolution produces is very difficult to explain today” 3- “The UP government was very incompetent, very surreal and very stubborn” 4- “I believe that the UP was a failure and the economic part was central, it failed because of the economy, not because of the ENU” ▲ Become a member of the Líbero Network: https://red.ellibero.cl/?utm_source=y... ▲Sign up for our Newsletter https://ellibero.cl/newsletters/ Follow us on our social networks: ▲YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbZN... ▲TIKTOK: / ellibero.cl ▲FACEBOOK: / ellibero. . ▲TWITTER: / elliberocl. . ▲INSTAGRAM: /elliberocl
