The last election of FECh

Today, I’m going to write about the last FECH election.

The FECH is the student’s federation at University of Chile. It is an important organization of the student movement.  It was born in 1906 to assist the victims of Valparaíso fire. Since then, it has been relevant to social and political processes in the Chilean society.  For example, the FECH was an essential actor to protest against Pinochet’s dictatorship. In democracy, since the end of the decade of the 90’, the student’s movements re-energized and the organization level grew up to the situation in 2011. This year, the FECh takes the lead in the student’s protest against “the business education”, and it becomes more important in the political agenda.

Since 2011, the FECh election has become topic of mass media, because whoever is elected define the course of student movement. In the last election, at November 2014, were presented six options for the management the FECh. The election was complicated, because the first day of voting, the quorum was very low. The consequences of this, was that the second day the students involved more in the process and they went  to vote. 

The final result was the next: the first position in the federation, is the presidency and winner it the candidate of "Somos Fuerza" Valentina Saavedra. She is the new president of federation during the end 2014 y all the 2015 year. I hope she do it well in your paperwork.
