Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle vs Ioannis Kapodistrias

Frei Ruiz-Tagle won the presidency as the candidate of the Concertaci

Frei's government signed free trade agreements with Canada, Mexico, and the European Union. These agreements boosted Chilean exports and integrated the country into the global economy.

Frei's government implemented a major judicial reform, replacing the inquisitorial system with an adversarial one. The reform aimed to increase transparency and efficiency in the courts.

The Third National Assembly at Troezen elected Kapodistrias as Governor of Greece for a seven-year term. He arrived in Greece in January 1828 to lead the newly independent state, which was still fighting the Ottoman Empire for full independence.

Kapodistrias organized the first administrative system of independent Greece, creating ministries, a national bank, and a postal service. He also established the Philekpaideutiki Etaireia (Educational Society) to promote education and founded the first orphanage.

Kapodistrias secured the London Protocol of 1830, which recognized Greece as an independent sovereign state under the protection of Great Britain, France, and Russia. This diplomatic achievement ended the Greek War of Independence and established Greece's borders.

Kapodistrias was assassinated on the steps of the Church of Saint Spyridon in Nafplio by members of the Mavromichalis family, a powerful Maniot clan. His death plunged Greece into a period of civil war and instability, leading to the imposition of a monarchy.
