“Busy agenda for Chile’s Piñera in Europe and Israel and Palestine. ..... The foreign visit will continue with a trip to the Middle East, including Palestine -- a country Chile formally recognized earlier this year. ”

I hope Pinera can find Palestine, because it does not exist.

Like a lot of other 'great leaders' promoting this cause - wishing it existed does not make it so, and 'recognising it' is recognising an aspiration, not a nation.

May I be permitted to make a few corrections to this article?
1. Mr. Pinera made an official visit to Italy and the Vatican City State- a visit to Prime Minister of Italy, Mr. Berlusconi, was only one part of the program;
2. If Mr. Pinera has some expensive hobbies, obviously that does not make him a “playboy”, come on!
3. Chile's distinguished ambassador to Italy is named: Oscar Godoy Arcaya- not the unreadable name listed by the reporter!

Yours truly,

Philippe
