00:00I think it's worth saying that obviously Cas doesn't have unlimited power. So the political
00:04system in Chile has checks and balances, kind of most importantly, his coalition doesn't hold a
00:09dominant majority in their Congress, which means that major legal changes would require support
00:13from other parties. There is also now quite a strong civil society, you know, feminist
00:18organisations, student movements, labour unions have played major roles in shaping the country's
00:23politics over the past decades. It has gone through quite a big kind of social and cultural
00:29change. But as with most countries, there is a feeling of like, do we move more socially
00:35conservative when there is economic uncertainty? And economic uncertainty does bring a feeling
00:41of, oh, we need to we need to retreat in on ourselves. And unfortunately, that does seem
00:46to play out again and again across the world.
