From Sebastian Pinera

Business is a useful tool in politics, but it's not enough. You need much more than to be a good businessman, to be a good politician.

From Sebastian Pinera

I believe in a real democratic system, with a state of law and freedom of the press. I believe in a free, open-market economy integrated with the world. And I believe in equality of opportunity. Those are my basic beliefs. On top of that, of course, I believe in some moral values.

From Sebastian Pinera

From Sebastian Pinera

I would say that the U.S. has overlooked Latin America. Their priorities have always been somewhere else. And that is a problem and that is a mistake.

From Sebastian Pinera

To have a stable economy, to have a stable democracy, and to have a modern government is not enough. We have to build new pillars of development. Education, science and technology, innovation and entrepreneurship, and more equality.

From Sebastian Pinera

Economic and financial crisis are getting much more usual, and they are not confined to a given country but they immediately spread all over the world, and you have to be prepared for that.

From Sebastian Pinera

We've got to move beyond the idea that the public and private sectors are at odds. Government has to lay the groundwork for private equity to productively invest in things like education. It's a partnership, not a battle.

From Sebastian Pinera

Chile is not a rich country in terms of gas, or oil or coal, but we are extremely rich in terms of the energies of the future.

From Sebastian Pinera

I grew up middle class. My father was a public functionary who didn't leave an inheritance, just debts.
