“ALL of us,” says Karol Cariola, “who are convinced that Chile requires a deep, structural and real change, have to work hard so that on November 21 we can secure an important victory. [Left-wing presidential candidate] Gabriel Boric, who is isolating as a result of a positive Covid test, will continue to be contacted daily on campaign matters.
“When, as now, Boric cannot be physically present, all of us who are supporting this candidacy should assume the role of his ambassadors in each of the electoral districts, at every door we knock on, in every town square, in every metro station, on every corner, at every fair, in order to be able to explain to the people our programme of profound transformations.”
Cariola dismisses talk of the support for Boric stagnating or no longer rising. “It has been growing progressively. He won a primary, he has been leading the polls and still has a lot of electoral growth ahead of him, she reiterates.”
