It happened in Punta Arenas, where the president of Chile traveled to participate in the elections this Sunday.
Gabriel Boric was the protagonist this Saturday of an unusual situation in a children’s park from Punta Arenas, the city to which he traveled to participate in the Constituent Council elections this Sunday. The president of Chile threw himself down a slide and got stuck momentarily at the start of that game.
“how funny… There he is coming out, our President of the Republic got stuck. I can’t believe it,” the woman who recorded a video that quickly went viral on social media said between laughs and jokes.
Boric entered the entertainment tube located in a square located on the Costanera, facing the Strait of Magellan, but when he came out, he could not do it. In order to get free, he had to resort to force and different movements of his body.
“After ten minutes of getting stuck in the slide, and breaking it, our President came out,” completed the same woman who captured the sequence with her mobile phone.
According to Bio Bio Radio of Chile, sources from the Presidency maintained that Boric enjoyed a day off with your familybefore taking part this Sunday in the election of the 50 constitutional councilors who will analyze the proposal for a new Magna Carta for the country.
Boric arrived Thursday night in Punta Arenas, his hometown and where he maintains his electoral address.
“I believe that in our country there has been a need for a long time to adapt the rules that govern us to the times we live in and I believe that the majority of the people of Chile have spoken in that direction,” Boric said upon arriving in the capital of the Magellan region.
And he added: “Now he will decide who will exercise the Constituent process. It is not for me, due to the electoral ban, to refer to the specific political contingency, but I deeply trust the democratic wisdom of the people of Chile and I have no doubt that we are going to have an exemplary day, in terms of both participation and deepening democratic”.
What is voted in Chile
In the midst of an atmosphere of indifference, lack of information and fed up with the political class, Chilean citizens will participate this Sunday in the constituent elections in which the 50 councilors who will draft a new proposal for a magna carta will be elected, which will then have to be approved or rejected in December of this year.
Voting will be compulsory for all persons authorized to vote. The experience may constitute a test of serious results for the social democratic government of Gabriel Boric.
This is the second attempt to establish a Constitution to replace that of the dictatorship since the popular uprising of 2019. The first took place in 2021 and the strongly radical text was widely rejected at the polls.
The Convention of 155 constituents was made up mostly of representatives of the left and the right did not reach a third to propose their themes or to veto. Nor could social democracy have an influence, which celebrated the popular rejection of the text.
On this occasion, the wording was made online with a draft created by 24 specialists, who in parallel will be arbitrators to preserve the balance of the document.
According to the Pulso Ciudadano poll carried out at the end of April, 51.1 percent of Chileans are little or not at all interested in these elections, while 61.3 percent expressed little or no confidence in the future text.
