In the first of its two decades in power the Concertacin had to govern in Pinochet sshadow. That was changed by the dictator s arrest in London in October 1998 at therequest of a Spanish magistrate; by the Chilean Supreme Court s decision to lift hisimmunity and by the revelation that he had stolen $30m. As president, Mr Lagos oversaw anational dialogue about the past that saw the army own up to its abuses and apologise forthem. He is surely right that the process of reconciliation, of finding out the truth aboutwhat happened and punishing the abusers where possible, required both time and politicaldetermination.
争取民主联盟执政二十年,起初不得不在皮诺切特的阴影下进行统治。1998年10月应一位西班牙法官的要求,独裁者皮诺切特在伦敦被捕,智利最高法院决定解除他的豁免权,他侵占3000万美元一事也被披露,这些改变了这种局面。过去军队承认滥用并为此道歉,作为总统,拉各斯监督有关这段过去的全国对话。他无疑是正确的,找出所发生事情的真相,并在可能的情况下惩罚滥用者,这样的和解进程既需要时间又需要政治决心。
In office Mr Lagos tried to combine a free-market economy with public policies designed tocreate a less unequal society. He had some success: he signed free-trade agreements withthe United States and the European Union and created new anti-poverty, health and housingprogrammes. This modern and moderate social democracy is an implicit rebuke toAllende, whom he is reluctant to criticise directly.
