Her father Alberto Bachelet was a supporter of Marxist dictator Salvador Allende.

Background

In 1986, the Bachelet lived with the 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 "Claudia".[4]

Second Government

Economy

Bachelet is responsible for the economic slowdown that Chile is still suffering since she raised corporate taxes (Tax reform), the minimum salary (Labour reform)[5] and opened the Chilean borders to mass migration, causing an oversupply of cheap labor.

Abortion

Bachelet strongly supports abortion[6] and she promoted and signed the "abortion in 3 cases" law which reintroduced abortion into Chilean legislation.[7]

Immigration

During her second government, an open borders policy was applied. The immigrant population went from 1% to 6.1%[8] with certain communities reaching historic numbers in the population such as Haitians, Venezuelans, Colombians and Ecuadorians, changing the demographics of Chile drastically. A lot are illegally since they entered with tourism visa and remained in the country after it expired.[9] The former minister of foreign affairs, Heraldo Muñoz, admitted that the government knew about the Haitian immigrant traffic and that they only notified the Haitian Government about it.[10]

Bachelet also gave the Chilean nationality to the children of the illegal immigrants, disrespecting the laws of Chile.[11] Because she advanced a globalist agenda, she later received a good position at the United Nations.
