THE presidential candidate for left coalition Apruebo Dignidad (Approve Dignity), Gabriel Boric, uses a metaphor to restate “[the left’s] commitment to [the] process of change, because life in society is a bit like a bicycle, in the sense that when you stop moving forward you have more and more instability, and we want to ensure stability.”
He added: “Moving forward with secure transformations, combating inequalities and also the fears that our people have. Greater security for the citizens of our country, combating drug trafficking, greater decentralisation, ensuring that decisions are taken locally.”
Boric spoke at an event celebrating the second anniversary of “the largest march in Chile” that mobilised hundreds of thousands of people to demand transformations in the country and an end to abuse and inequality.
