Everything about Eduardo Frei Ruiz-tagle totally explained
Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle (born
June 24,
1942) is a
Chilean politician and
civil engineer. He served as
President of Chile from
1994 to
2000. He is currently
senator for
Los Ríos and was President of the Senate between 2006-2008.
Frei was born in
Santiago to
Eduardo Frei Montalva and María Ruiz-Tagle Jiménez. He received all his schooling at the Luis Campino Institute. He then attended the
University of Chile, where he graduated as a Civil Engineer, specializing in
hydraulics. After graduation, he followed advanced courses in management in
Italy.
Frei took his first steps in politics while at the university, where he was a student leader. In
1958, he joined the
Christian Democrat party, and in
1964 participated actively in his father's successful presidential campaign. Between
1969 and
1988 he concentrated on his profession, as one of the partners of
Sigdo Koppers S.A., the largest engineering company in Chile.
In
1988 Frei founded and promoted the
Comité Pro Elecciones Libres ("Committee for the promotion of free elections"). In
1989 he was elected
Senator for Santiago, obtaining the highest amount of votes in the whole country. In the Senate, he presided over the Treasury and Budget commission, and was a member of the Housing commission.
In
1992 Frei participated in the primary presidential elections of his coalition, where he defeated
Ricardo Lagos, and then went on to win the presidential elections in
1993. He took office on
March 11,
1994 and was succeeded by Lagos in
2000. Frei assumed then, as a former President, a seat as
senator-for-life in Congress. Given that Constitutional reforms in
2005 abolished life senators starting in
2006, Frei ran for an elected Senate seat in the
December 2005 parliamentary elections and was victorious. He was elected in the electoral district of
Valdivia Province and
Osorno Province together with
Andrés Allamand. On
March 11 2006 Frei became President of the Senate, like his father, who was also President of the Senate after being President of the Republic.
