Vlado Mirosevic was born in Arica in 1987. He studied at "Collegio Andino" in his hometown. He served as the leader of the student council during middle school and later as president of the Federation of High School students of Arica and Parinacota (FESAP) in 2003 and 2004.
Mirosevic studied political science at the Central University of Chile in Santiago and did afterwards study a master in digital journalism in the University Mayor (Universidad Mayor) Mirosevic published investigations about international agencies such as the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America (Comision Economica para America Latina - CEPAL) and published documents about public youth politics [3] and social politics.[4] Mirosevic is also the co-author of the book "Donde esta el relato" from the institution Democracy y Mercado, which is a book written by 11 young people below the age of 35 who were all interested in the political life of Chile.[5]
In 2006 and 2007 Mirosevic was the director of the digital newspaperEl Morrocotudo of Arica and was in particular dedicated to the promotion of the citizen journalism and collaborated the process with the expansion of "The Net of citizen newspapers of Chile" (la Red de Diarios Ciudadanos de Chile) a group that was founded with the newspaper Morrocotudo and which has created citizen newspapers in 14 regions of the country.
In 2013, Mirosevic founded the Liberal Party of Chile, and was its president until early 2016.
Political career
Mirosevic was formerly a part of the ChileFirst party, which was founded in 2007 by a group of dissidents from the coalition led by Fernando Flores Labra. In the final months of 2008 he stated his interest to present a candidature as deputy of Arica and Parinacota.[6][7] However, the party inscribed him as candidate for district 19 which included the areas Indenpendencia and Recoleta in Santiago. He obtained approximately 5% of the votes and did not manage to get elected.
The 16 October 2010 Mirosevic was elected as president of ChilePrimero by its national assembly.[8] The party changed its name from ChileFirst to the Liberal Party of Chile in 2013 - and Liberal Party of Chile became known as a party based on a social liberal ideology[9] for which Mirosevic continued as president until January 2016. He was succeeded by Luis Felipe Ramos.
In the parliamentary elections of 2013, Vlado ran as deputy candidate for district 1 which includes the communes of Arica, Camarones, General Lagos y Putre. He represented Liberal Party of Chile and was a part of the pact "If you want it, Chile changes" (si tú quieres Chile cambia). He achieved 21,35% of the votes and was the only one who achieved a seat in the congress from his party as well as from the electoral alliance he was a part of. He assumed office on 11 March 2014. In the Chamber of Deputies he is further serving in the Commission of Extreme Zones, the Commission of International Relations, the Commission of Interior Affairs and Decentralization, and the Commission of Ethics.
Legislative work
While serving in the Chamber of Deputies, Vlado Mirosevic has presented 48 bills (proposals).[10] One of them was about a project on the water quality in Chile and aimed to make Chilean legislation on the area reach international standards through making the Ministry of Health regulate the water quality according to those international standards.[11]
Mirosevic presented, with the independent deputies Giorgio Jackson and Gabriel Boric, a bill to reduce 50% of the parliamentary diet and establish an ethical limit for its establishment.[12] That proposal wes not without controversy, since all other members of the Chamber of Deputies without exception were against the proposal.[citation needed]
Regarding transparent financing of political campaigns, Mirosevic presented together with Giorgio Jackson a proposal, which was approved in the Chamber of Deputies, to eliminate so-called reserved contributions (Spanish: aportes resevados), which meant that companies could donate big sums to political parties. The aim was to change the form of financing political parties in Chile, thus terminating the secrecy in the process of financing in Chilean politics.[13] The Chamber of Deputies also approved the proposal of Mirosevic and Jackson to prohibit businesses and legal organisations from donating money for political campaigns, thus only allowing economic contributions from individual citizens.
During Mirosevic’s time in congress he presented a project regarding free software. He proposed to reduce the high costs which the state allocated to buy software patents and instead allow the state to promote the use of free software.[14] This project was blocked deputy Daniel Farcas acting on request by the Microsoft lobby.[15][16] Mirosevic denounced the lobby publicly in a wide report in the newspaper El Mercurio,[17] which became a scandalous case for Farcas.[18]
Cultural work
When Mirosevic assumed office as deputy in March 2014 he transformed his parliamentary office into a cultural centre in Arica called "The House of Regionalism" (Spanish: "La casa del Regionalismo"). During his time in the congress he created libraries for public use and opened his personal library to the public.[19]
Milosevic has also created art galleries and open spaces to promote artists in the regions.[20]
Political ideology
Mirosevic is inspired by social liberalism and supports federalism. He is recognised in general by the Chilean population as "a liberal commoner from the province".[21] He political platform is situated in the political centre as a secular and reformist politician.
As the current president of the Liberal Party of Chile, he expressed: “What we want to do is to revive the authentic liberalism from the 19th century, with younger, more modern traits and liberal cultural values which make more sense in these contemporary times"[22]
