Protestors gather at the Barrick Gold/Chevron sponsored event

Outgoing President of Chile Michelle Bachelet was in NY this week to attend several functions that included the UN General Assembly Climate talks, the Clinton Initiative and the OAS talks . She was also in town to receive a Gold Insigne award in her honor by the America’s Society / Council of the Americas.

The Gold Insigne is the highest award of the Americas Society and it is presented only to democratically elected heads of state from the Western Hemisphere who have made outstanding contributions to their own country, the region and society as a whole.

The Council of the America is an American business organization whose stated goal is promoting free trade, democracy and open markets throughout the Americas. “This is the second time in the Council’s history that a woman will receive the Gold Insigne in our more than 45-year history and as the first woman to be the president and CEO of Americas Society in our more than 45-year history, that is also a very special thing for me” , says Susan Segal , President and CEO for the Council.

However since the sponsors of the event are Barrick gold, Chevron and Freeport-Mcmoran they were bound to attract anti–mining protesters

Representatives also attending the dinner included , Mariano Fernández Amunátegui Minister of Exterior Relations , José Miguel Insulza Salinas Secretary General of the Organization of American States, Mariano Fernandez; Ambassador Geraldo Muñoz; U.S. ambassador to Chile, Paul Simons; and Secretary General of the Ibero-American Organization, Enrique Iglesias. The $250 ticket event was full to capacity for both press and the public .
