Her father Alberto Bachelet was a supporter of Marxist dictator [[Salvador Allende]].
==Background==
Her father Alberto Bachelet was a militarymen who served as director of the Committees for Popular Supply (''JAPs'') of the Marxist regime of [[Salvador Allende]].
During the [[Military Government (Chile)|Military Government]] Michelle Bachelet was arrested because of her collaboration with the [[Left Wing Terrorism in Chile|MIR]] (Revolutionary Leftist Movement), which for years had been committing attacks and taking lives.
The details of her collaboration with the MIR and his arrest are on pages 95 and 102 of the biography of him by journalists Andrea Insunza and Javier Ortega. Also, a remarkable article on the President, by historian James Whelan, which appeared in "The American Spectator", in its May 2007 edition, clarifies the nature of her links with the MIR and, later, with the FPMR. "La Tercera" has given details of his ties with this movement.
Moreover, the early release of Michelle Bachelet, without any attempt at judicial prosecution, can perhaps only be explained by the requests of officers who were friends of her father.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blogdehermogenes.blogspot.com/2013/09/el-libro-de-las-verdades-olvidadas.html|title=El Libro de las Verdades Olvidadas NI VERDAD NI RECONCILIACIÓN|publisher=[[Hermógenes Pérez de Arce]]'s blog|date=2013|language=es}}</ref>
In 1986, the Bachelet lived with the [[Left Wing Terrorism in Chile|FPMR]] spokesman who planted the bombs, Alex Voijcovich. Subsequently, not a few Frentistas called clandestine press conferences, in which hooded men appeared, claiming that Voijcovich's cohabitant was an active militant of the Front, where she was known by her alias "Comandante Claudia".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blogdehermogenes.blogspot.com/2014/07/este-pobre-pais-desmemoriado.html?m=0|title=Este Pobre País Desmemoriado|date=July 19, 2014|language=es|publisher=[[Hermógenes Pérez de Arce]]'s blog}}</ref>

===Corruption===
In February 2015, the magazine "Qué pasa" published a report where it states that the company "Exportadora y de Gestión Caval Limitada", owned by Natalia Compagnon, Bachelet's daughter-in-law, had received a loan from the Bank of Chile for more than US$ 10 million, which was approved by the financial institution on December 16, 2013, one day after Michelle Bachelet's victory in the second round of the presidential election. Said loan was used in the purchase of a plot of land in Machalí, with the purpose of reselling it for real estate developments. It was later learned that the loan had been discussed in a meeting between Compagnon, accompanied by her husband and Michelle Bachelet's son, Sebastián Dávalos, with the tycoon Andrónico Luksic Craig, vice-president of the bank.
On February 11, 2015, Sebastián Dávalos published an asset declaration in an attempt to reduce criticism. However, pressure from the opposition and a significant part of the ruling party caused him to resign two days later from the public positions he held at the time.
In April 2015, it became known that Minister Peñailillo delivered four fee slips in 2012 for an amount of 2 000 000 000 USD (4 million CLP) to the company "Asesorías y Negocios Spa", linked to the "SQM case", for which payments made by that company to politicians for work that was not carried out for the purpose of financing electoral campaigns are being investigated. Peñailillo showed to the press at the beginning of May three documents that were supposedly reports for which he had received such payments;181 however, he was again questioned because such documents contained plagiarism of other works. Peñailillo denied these accusations on several occasions. In August 2021 and due to the lack of a complaint by the Internal Revenue Service, the prosecutor's office decided not to pursue the investigation against him.
Bachelet also gave the Chilean nationality to the children of the illegal immigrants, disrespecting the laws of Chile.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.revistasur.cl/revistasur.cl/2017/05/presidenta-bachelet-encabeza-lanzamiento-del-proyecto-chile-reconoce-para-rectificar-nacionalidad-chilena-de-hijos-de-extranjeros-transeuntes/|title=Presidenta Bachelet encabeza lanzamiento del proyecto “Chile Reconoce”, para rectificar nacionalidad chilena de hijos de extranjeros transeúntes|language=es|publisher=Revista Sur|date=2017}}</ref> Because she followed the [[Globalist]] Agenda, she received later a good position in the [[United Nations]].
Léo Pinheiro, a former OAS executive investigated and convicted for corruption as part of the Lava Jato case investigating a vast web of corruption involving politicians from several Latin American countries, told the Brazilian justice system that he allegedly provided the funds for Bachelet at the request of former Brazilian president [[Lula da Silva|Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva]], revealed the newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo. Bachelet responded "I have never had a relationship with OAS, nor with any other company".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.diariolibre.com/actualidad/internacional/caso-odebrecht-llega-a-chile-y-salpica-a-expresidenta-bachelet-AM14185995|title=Caso Odebrecht llega a Chile y salpica a expresidenta Bachelet|date=September 17, 2019|publisher=Diario Libre|language=es}}</ref>
