El Líbero is a Chilean online newspaper founded in 2014. Its boosters were the journalist Eduardo Sepúlveda,[1][2] the former minister of sports of Sebastián Piñera, Gabriel Ruiz-Tagle, and Hernán Büchi, former minister of Augusto Pinochet[1] and one of the main collaborators of El Líbero.[3][4]
Origins[edit]
According to Sepúlveda, the reason why El Líbero was established with its name have relation with the Italian word Libero,[2] which means «libre» in Spanish[2] (and «free» in English). Likewise, in interview with Canal 13, Sepúlveda mentioned that the inspiration was related with the Roman god of freedom, Liber, whose name refers to being able to move freely, one of the goals of this e-newspaper in words of Sepúlveda.[2]
Ideology[edit]
In its beginnings, the medium was popularly known as the «right-wing CIPER».[2][1] Similarly, centre-left figures like Álvaro Elizalde (Socialist Party) has been described to El Líbero as an «UDI pasquinade» in reference to the right-wing party Unión Demócrata Independiente.[5] In a similar way, far-left media also has described to El Líbero as a «(reactionary) pasquinade».[6] By the other hand, El Líbero has gained notoriety for its relationship with Sebastián Piñera,[7] who they campaigned for during the 2017 Chilean general election through books of Mauricio Rojas. Likewise, and once Piñera was in the power, members of his own government ―like Mario Desbordes― have criticized the influence of Cristián Larroulet would exert with El Líbero to generate persuasion in the president[8] towards subsidiary or libertarian policies.
