Palestra
com o Ex-Presidente da Chile Ricardo
Lagos
Our purpose to visiting the University of São
Paulo was to watch a lecture given by the Ex-President of Chile Ricardo Lagos.
It took Adriel and me awhile to finally find the right Auditorium but
eventually we got there and even arrived early. A few minutes later we met with
Ana and her friend and after some brief chit-chat, we entered the room. All was
good during the thorough presentations as they introduced each important person
in the room. It wasn’t until President Ricardo Lagos started speaking that we
realized that the whole thing was going to be in Spanish. Normally, I’m able to
understand roughly 80% of what’s being said due to its similarity to
Portuguese, but not when the topic involves complicated economic and political
terms. We lasted for about an hour before discreetly exiting the room. From
what I understood of the lecture, it discussed the importance of minimizing the
income division between the rich and poor class and the effect it has on a
country.
