Session 6

Hi friends, today I will tell you who is Ricardo Lago Escobar.
Ricardo Lagos is a Social Democrat Politician, Lawyer and Economist, who served as President of Chile from 2000 to 2006. He won the presidential election of 2000 by a narrow margin in a runoff over Independent Democrat Union (UDI) candidate J. Lavín. Lagos was the third president from the center-left Coalition of Parties for Democracy to have ruled Chile since 1990.
I admire Ricardo Lagos , because he made many positive things for Chile, poverty declined dramatically , and the economy grew at a high rate . Chile was able to get out of the Asian crisis.
During his presidency also bad things happened , such as the Transantiago. But little by little it has been perfected the system .

Since 2007 he has served as a Special Envoy on Climate Change for the Secretary-General of United Nations Ban Ki-moon.

Lagos recently has worked as a professor at various foreign universities such as the University of Sao Paulo and Brown University.

Hugs and blessings friends, bye!
