Václav Havel's life (1936-2011) is that of an outstanding humanist who was president of his country without denying the demonstration of sound ethical principles in his intellectual production and dissident militancy. An important playwright and writer, he went down in history for his role in the liberation and architecture of the new Czechoslovakia.

We are right and we know it. And we will also make you know it. It sounds simple, but the power of conviction is frequently disregarded. We've been able to see an example of this in the first round of the Chilean elections last November, and we have also seen it before in other countries like Colombia or Mexico. While we must acknowledge that the electoral campaign of the right was atypical–with its candidate Pablo Longueira quitting–staying 20 points behind the winner is far from being considered even acceptable.
