He advocated the homosexual agenda by supporting Gender Identity laws,[2][3][4] a "deep cultural change",[5] increase the number of ministries,[6] a "gender equality" agenda,[7][8] the legalization of 300.000 illegal immigrants,[9] the increase of digital taxes,[10] and maintain the 27% of corporate taxes.[11]
He also promoted the "Safe Classroom" law which regulates the expulsion of violent students from public schools,[12] a law which privileges the meritocracy in the admission to Chilean Schools[13] and he refused to sign the UN Global Migration Pact[14] however he signed the UN Refugee Pact.[15]
In his first year of government, around 200,000 immigrants entered Chile, with a total of 1,251,225 new immigrants since 2014.[16] Piñera continued an open border policy similar to what his predecessor did, but under Piñera, it was a bit more regulated and the main new immigrants were Venezuelans instead of Haitians.
The 2019 Chilean State of Emergency occurred during Piñera's presidency.
