Gabriel Boric, the leader of a leftist alliance including the Communist Party, will become Chile’s next president. Here is how he has rose to this position
While Pinochet’s American model has made Chile one of Latin America’s richest economies, it has left the middle class and lower class people financially unstable, leading to widespread protests in 2019 and shaking the country’s political foundations.
Since 2019, Boric has been riding high over that platform urging a new constitution to ensure more equality by levying elevated taxes over the rich. His Sunday victory appears to prove that he is both a talented leader accepted by even his furious opponents and someone whose economic program is backed by a majority of Chileans.
That’s not going to be an easy task in a country where foreign investments have long been one of the driving forces of Chilean growth due to its free trade model under centrist rule. Going toward the election, Boric, a non-centrist politician, already moderated some of his pledges such as the state’s role in the country’s economic sector.
