Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 This made my day and I hope it bodes will for the defeat of Bolsonaro next year! 'We did it!' Chile's Boric seals leftist revival with election win WWW.REUTERS.COM Chilean leftist Gabriel Boric won the country's presidential runoff election on Sunday, capping a major revival for the country's progressive left that has been on the rise since widespread protests roiled the Andean country two years ago. Quote Chilean leftist Gabriel Boric won the country's presidential runoff election on Sunday, capping a major revival for the country's progressive left that has been on the rise since widespread protests roiled the Andean country two years ago. In downtown Santiago, supporters cheered, embraced and waved flags with Boric's image, as well as rainbow flags of LGBT groups that have backed his socially inclusive policies as well as plans to overhaul Chile's market-orientated economic model. "We did it!" 39-year-old Paola Fernandez said tearfully as she hugged her daughter, adding she was happy because of Boric's progressive policies. With over 99% of ballots counted, Boric, 35, who leads a broad leftist coalition, had 55.86% of the vote, compared with 44.14% for far-right rival Jose Antonio Kast, who conceded defeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
