Gabriel Boric speaks

“Reaching agreements is by nature something difficult to achieve and sometimes in times of polarization it becomes intuitive (…) Citizens, I have no doubts, demand an even greater effort from us, which is that we get out of that position of comfort”, stated the President. “When the pendulum of history swings from one extreme to the other in a short time, it is always the most vulnerable populations that suffer from the confrontation between the elites,” added the ruler, who emphasized the need to solve the consequences of this pendulum movement.

The President Gabriel Boric speaks

Jose Antonio Kast

“Very good night Chile, very good night Republicans… There is nothing to celebrate.

Because Chile is not well, Chileans are not well and that must be engraved in their hearts. For a few this choice seems very important. Today is not the time to be happy, but happy because we achieved an important goal, it is not time to divide the country, but to work together for the good of the country. Today millions of Chileans have gone to the polls to give a strong and clear signal of the course they want for the country. Today is the first day of a better future for our country. Chile has defeated a failed government.”

Deputy Juan Antonio Coloma (UDI) speaks

Juan Ignacio Latorre, RD helmsman

“The Republican Party did not sign the agreement, it did not want a new Constitution. Let’s see now what role Chile will have. Come on, are you going to put the music on?
