The TPP-11, a revised version of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, has been approved by Chile's lower house committee of exterior relations. The agreement, which excludes the US after its withdrawal under Donald Trump, is expected to be ratified by the end of March. Chile's foreign affairs ministry highlighted the economic benefits, including potential GDP growth and advantages for agriculture, forestry, and fishing sectors. The agreement now moves to the financial committee before a senate vote.

Chile's crisis stems from the effects of inequality, with the media playing a significant role. The editorial criticizes Chile's main media for being influenced by oligarchs and relying on controversial and sensationalist content to drive viewer engagement. This approach, often linked to the dictatorship era, undermines democratic values and contributes to societal tensions. The media's portrayal of crime, both street and white-collar, is biased and fails to connect the dots between different forms of crime and their impact on society. The editorial calls for a reevaluation of the media's role and responsibility in shaping a more equitable and informed society.
