Gabriel Boric Font (Spanish pronunciation: [ɡaˈβɾjel ˈβoɾitʃ ˈfont];[a] born 11 February 1986)[3] is a Chilean politician who has been serving as the president of Chile since 11 March 2022. Boric gained prominence as a student leader during his time studying law at the University of Chile. He was president of its influential student federation during the massive student protests that began in 2011.

Prior to his presidency, Boric served in the Chamber of Deputies from 2014 to 2022, representing the Magallanes and Antarctic district. He first ran as an independent candidate in 2013 and later as part of the Broad Front coalition in 2017. In 2018, Boric founded the Social Convergence party, one of the parties that constitute the Broad Front.[4]

During the 2019 civil unrest in Chile, Boric played a pivotal role in negotiating the agreement that led to the October 2020 constitutional referendum.[5] In December 2021, he secured the country's presidency by defeating José Antonio Kast in the second round of the presidential election, receiving 55.9% of the votes.

Following his election, Boric became the youngest president in Chilean history and is currently the sixth youngest serving state leader in the world, after Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso, Daniel Noboa of Ecuador, Milojko Spajić of Montenegro, Gaetano Troina of San Marino and Jakov Milatović also of Montenegro.[b][6][7]

## Early life[edit]

### Family[edit]

On his father's side, Boric hails from a Croatian-Chilean family with roots in Ugljan, an island located off the Adriatic coast of Croatia.[8] Despite his ancestors'[c] migration from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Chile in 1897, Boric maintains connections with his relatives residing on Ugljan.[9][10] His great-grandfather, Juan Boric (Ive Borić Barešić), along with his brother Simón (Šime), arrived in Punta Arenas around 1885, being among the initial ten Croats to settle in Magallanes.[11] They ventured into the Tierra del Fuego gold rush in the Magallanes region, spending time on the islands south of the Beagle Channel.[11] Subsequently, Juan Boric briefly returned to Ugljan to marry and brought his wife, Natalia Crnosija, back to Magallanes, where ten out of their eleven children were born.[11] Boric's grandfather, Luis Boric Crnosij, born in 1908, was one of these children.[11]

Gabriel Boric's father, Luis Boric Scarpa, is a chemical engineer who has served as a government employee at Empresa Nacional del Petróleo for over 40 years.[12] His mother, María Soledad Font Aguilera, comes from Catalan descent.[13][14] In the Patagonian region of Magallanes, Boric's granduncle, Vladimiro Boric, became the first bishop of Punta Arenas.[15] Another granduncle, Roque Scarpa Martinich, assumed the role of the first intendant of the Magallanes Region following the military dictatorship. Both Roque Scarpa and Gabriel Boric's father were members of the Christian Democratic Party.[16]

Gabriel Boric himself was born in Punta Arenas in 1986. He has two brothers named Simón and Tomás.[17]

### Education[edit]

Boric studied at The British School in his hometown[18][19] before moving to Santiago in 2004 to attend the law school at the University of Chile.[20] He completed his coursework in 2009, coinciding with his appointment as the President of the Law School students' union. Afterward, he focused on preparing for his final exam and fulfilling his mandatory internship. However, he did not pass the test in 2011 and chose not to retake it.[21] Boric did not obtain a law degree and has expressed in interviews that he never intended to pursue a career as a lawyer, instead aspiring to become a writer.[2]

During his university years, Boric had the opportunity to work as an assistant to Professor José Zalaquett in his human rights course.[22][23] Zalaquett commended Boric for his inclination to question and doubt, as revealed in an interview.[22]

## Political career[edit]

### Student politics[edit]

Boric as President of the University of Chile Students Federation, in 2012.

In 1999 and 2000, Boric played an active role in re-establishing the Federation of Secondary School Students of Punta Arenas.[24] While attending university, he became a member of the political collective Autonomous Left (Izquierda Autónoma), originally known as Autonomous Students (Estudiantes Autónomos). In 2008, he served as an advisor to the Students' Union of the Law Department, and in 2009, he assumed the presidency. During his tenure, he led a 44-day protest against the dean, Roberto Nahum.[25] From 2010 to 2012, Boric represented students as a university senator.[25]

Boric ran for the presidency of the University of Chile Student Federation (FECh) in the 5–6 December 2011 elections, as part of the Creando Izquierda list. He won the election with 30.52% of the votes, defeating Camila Vallejo, who was the incumbent president of the federation and sought re-election as part of the Communist Youth of Chile list.[26] As president of the FECh, Boric played a prominent role in the second phase of the student protests that originated in 2011, emerging as one of the primary spokespersons for the Federation of Chilean Students.[27] In 2012, he was featured on the list of 100 young leaders of Chile, published by El Sábado magazine of the newspaper El Mercurio in collaboration with Adolfo Ibáñez University.[28]

Boric participated in the 2013 parliamentary elections as an independent candidate for District 60, currently District 28, representing the Region of Magallanes and the Chilean Antarctic. He achieved a significant victory with 15,418 votes (26.2%), the highest number received by any candidate in the region.[29][30] Notably, Boric's successful election outside of an electoral coalition was widely acknowledged by the media,[31] as it broke through the Chilean binomial election system.[32][33][34][35] On 11 March 2014, Boric was sworn in as a member of the Chamber of Deputies.[32][33][34][35]

During his first term, Boric actively served on several commissions, including Human Rights and Indigenous Peoples; Extreme Zones and the Chilean Antarctic; and Labour and Social Security.[24] He was part of the "student bench" (bancada estudiantil), which consisted of other young elected deputies, such as Camila Vallejo, Giorgio Jackson, and Karol Cariola. Together, they played a prominent role in debates concerning the educational reforms proposed by Michelle Bachelet's second government.[36] Boric's popularity in Chile was reflected in various opinion polls.[37][38]

In 2016, the Autonomous Left disbanded due to disagreements regarding the collective's future. Boric advocated for a more institutional approach and dialogue with Bachelet's center-left government.[39] However, the leadership of the Autonomous Left preferred to focus on student politics. Boric and his allies, driven by a "compulsion for rapid rise,"[23] according to Carlos Ruiz of the Autonomous Left, founded the Autonomist Movement. They intended to collaborate with other political forces and establish a new leftist coalition similar to the Uruguayan Broad Front.[40][41][23] The Autonomist Movement achieved favorable electoral results, as exemplified by Jorge Sharp, one of Boric's close friends, who was elected mayor of Valparaíso in the 2016 municipal elections.[42]

In January 2017, Boric's movement, together with other new parties and collectives including Jackson's Democratic Revolution, launched the Chilean Broad Front (Frente Amplio).[43] Boric played a leadership role in Beatriz Sánchez's campaign during the 2017 presidential election. After Sánchez placed third and failed to qualify for the second round, Boric reluctantly supported Alejandro Guillier as a means to defeat Sebastián Piñera, although Piñera ultimately emerged victorious.[44]

In the 2017 general election, Boric sought re-election as an independent candidate supported by the Humanist Party, one of the founding members of the Broad Front. He received 18,626 votes (32.8%),[45] an increase compared to 2013, making him the second most voted deputy in the country at that time.[24] Boric served on the Commissions for Extreme Zones and the Chilean Antarctic, as well as Constitution, Legislation, Justice, and Regulation.[24]

The Broad Front's commendable performance in the 2017 elections, where it became Chile's third largest political force, prompted the coalition and its members to undergo reorganization.[46] In 2018, the Autonomist Movement, along with the Libertarian Left and other smaller movements, decided to merge and establish a political party called Social Convergence.[4]

### Role in the Estallido social[edit]

Main article: 2019–2021 Chilean protests

On 18 October 2019, protests against the increased tariffs in the Santiago transport system sparked the Estallido social, the largest civil unrest in the country since the end of the military dictatorship. As riots erupted in various parts of the capital, President Piñera declared a state of emergency in Santiago, which was later extended to all major cities as the protests escalated. The protesters incorporated demands concerning the high cost of living, corruption, and inequality, among other issues.[47][48]

Boric emerged as a vocal critic of the government's response and strongly opposed the use of the Chilean Armed Forces to suppress the protests. He even confronted a group of soldiers deployed in Plaza Italia.[49] Additionally, he played a significant role as one of the accusers in the impeachment trial against Interior Minister Andrés Chadwick. Chadwick was found guilty of serious constitutional violations and a failure to safeguard human rights during the state of emergency, resulting in a five-year ban from public office.[50][51][52][53] Boric also supported the impeachment of President Piñera, although the attempt was ultimately rejected.[52]

Despite being a prominent critic of the government's handling of the protests, Boric was willing to engage in dialogue with other political forces to find a solution to the crisis. Conversations between him and right-wing politicians contributed to an agreement that paved the way for the establishment of the Constitutional Convention, tasked with writing a new Constitution.[54][55] On 15 November 2019, the "Agreement for Social Peace and the New Constitution" was signed by the presidents of the political parties represented in parliament, excluding the Communist Party and some members of the Broad Front, including Social Convergence. Boric signed the agreement as an individual, which led to accusations against him from some members of his party.[56] As a result, several individuals, including his personal friend Jorge Sharp,[42] resigned from the party. Other parties such as the Green Ecologist Party, the Humanist Party, the Equality Party, the Pirate Party, and the Libertarian Left also opposed the agreement and left the Broad Front.[57]

On 20 December, Boric faced an attack at Parque Forestal where individuals threw spit and beer at him while calling him a "traitor" and "sell-out" due to his involvement in the "Agreement for Social Peace and a New Constitution" reached with traditional politicians. Despite the provocation, Boric remained composed and did not leave his position.[58]

### 2021 presidential candidacy[edit]

Main article: 2021 Chilean general election

During 2020, the conflict between the Chilean government and its citizens escalated due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the country was under lockdown, civil unrest was temporarily suspended. This situation, coupled with the shared campaign for the constitutional referendum, helped to unite the left and center-left opposition, particularly the Broad Front and Chile Digno, an alliance led by the Communist Party. In the October 2020 referendum, 78% of voters supported the idea of drafting a new Constitution, leading to discussions on how to form a united opposition for the May 2021 elections, which included mayors, regional governors, and members of the Constitutional Convention.[citation needed]

Gabriel Boric, a key figure, advocated for coordination among all parties and the formation of fewer electoral lists to prevent voter dispersion.[59] Eventually, the Broad Front and Chile Digno reached an agreement and presented a joint list called Apruebo Dignidad, which became the second largest bloc in the Constitutional Convention, behind the united pact of the right called Vamos por Chile. Apruebo Dignidad also saw increased support in local and regional elections, positioning itself as a competitive option for the general election in November 2021.[citation needed]

Daniel Jadue, the Communist mayor of Recoleta, was initially the favored candidate to represent the left in the presidential election, according to preliminary opinion polls.[60][61] The Broad Front initially supported Beatriz Sánchez, their former presidential candidate, to run again, but she declined and opted to run for the Constitutional Convention instead.[62] With their main candidate out of the race, the Broad Front searched for alternatives, but most of their candidates lacked popularity or did not meet the minimum age requirement for presidential candidates.[63]

Eventually, Gabriel Boric, who was 35 years old at the time, emerged as an option to participate in a primary election against Jadue. However, Boric's party, Social Convergence, did not have the minimum number of members required to present a presidential candidate. In a remarkable turn of events, a campaign was quickly organized, allowing Boric to gather the necessary number of signatures just one day before the deadline.[64]

Contrary to expectations, Boric won the Apruebo Dignidad primary election on 19 July 2021, receiving 1,059,060 votes (60.4%), while Jadue garnered 39.6%. Boric also emerged as the most voted candidate in the general primary, surpassing all candidates from the Chile Vamos coalition, whose primary was held simultaneously.[65] Following his primary victory, Boric announced on Twitter that he would collaborate with Jadue during the general election to present a united front.[66]

Initially, opinion polls indicated that Boric and Sebastián Sichel, the Chile Vamos candidate, were the frontrunners for the presidential election. However, Sichel's popularity declined in the following months, and he was overtaken in the polls by far-right candidate José Antonio Kast. In the first round of the election held on 21 November 2021, Boric obtained 25.82% of the vote, placing second behind Kast's 27.91%, which secured their spots in the second round. On 19 December 2021, Boric emerged victorious in the runoff with 55.85% of the vote.[6] His inauguration took place on 11 March 2022.[7]

### Cabinet[edit]

Boric announced the members of his cabinet in January 2022.[67] The cabinet comprises ministers from the Apruebo Dignidad and Democratic Socialism coalitions, as well as independent ministers.[68] A notable feature of the cabinet is that fourteen out of twenty-four ministers are women, making it the first cabinet in the Americas where more than half of its members are women.[69][d] Among the ministers are Alexandra Benado and Marco Antonio Ávila, who hold the distinction of being the first openly LGBT ministers in Chile's history.[72] Additionally, Maya Fernández Allende, the granddaughter of former president Salvador Allende, is also part of the cabinet.[69]

Boric also appointed three fellow former student leaders to his cabinet. Camila Vallejo, who became the government spokesperson, Giorgio Jackson, who assumed the role of secretary-general of the presidency, and Nicolás Grau, who became the Minister of Economy, Development, and Tourism.[67][73]

Ricardo Ffrench-Davis, amidst speculation of being appointed as Minister of Finance, explained that, at the age of 85, he considered himself too old to fulfill the task but expressed his willingness to provide advice.[74] When Mario Marcel was announced as the future finance minister in January 2022, the Santiago Stock Exchange reacted positively, with the IPSA rising by 2.35%.[75]

In August 2023, amidst low approval ratings, voter concerns over crime and inflation, and a corruption probe focused on graft accusations, Boric reorganized his Cabinet for the third time in one-and-a-half years.[76][77]

### Violence against government officials[edit]

During the initial months of the Boric government, both the president and individuals associated with his administration have faced threats, violent crimes, and physical aggression. In mid-March, Minister of Interior and Public Security Izkia Siches encountered gunfire during a visit to Temucuicui and had to be evacuated for her safety.[78] In April, President Boric himself was targeted in an attack by a man who tried to throw a stone at him.[79] On the night of 13 May, one of Boric's bodyguards was kidnapped and shot in the arm by unidentified assailants.[80] Additionally, on the same day, the residence of Minister of National Defense Maya Fernández was burglarized.[80] The Chilean police have stated that these latter two incidents are unrelated.[81]

### Mapuche conflict[edit]

In May 2022, Boric made the decision to deploy troops to the southern part of the country due to escalating violence in the Mapuche conflict. According to the Argentine newspaper Clarín, this move caused Boric to lose support from the Communist Party. Previously, Boric had distanced himself from similar measures taken by his predecessor, Piñera.[82] Prior to Boric's decision, Héctor Llaitul, the leader of one of the Mapuche militias, had called for "preparing forces and organizing armed resistance".[83] In response to Llaitul's statement, Boric's government initially dismissed the idea of filing a formal lawsuit against him, stating that the state "does not persecute ideas." Instead, they planned to incorporate these statements into existing complaints rather than initiating new ones.[84][85]

### Vote on proposed constitution[edit]

In September 2022, the Constitutional Convention proposed a more progressive constitution, which was under development from 4 July 2021 (during former president Sebastián Piñera's government) to 4 July 2022 (four months into Boric's government). However, it was rejected by a margin of 62% to 38%.[86][87] The proposed constitution faced "intense criticism that it was too long, too left-leaning and too radical".[88]

### Foreign relations[edit]

Boric strongly condemned the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, expressing his disapproval in a tweet that read, "Russia has chosen war as a means of resolving conflicts. From Chile, we condemn the invasion of Ukraine, the violation of its sovereignty, and the illegitimate use of force. We stand in solidarity with the victims and will strive for peace through our humble efforts."[89]

In April 2022, Boric embarked on his first presidential trip to Argentina, where he met with President Alberto Fernández. During his visit, Boric emphasized the need to resolve remaining territorial disputes with Argentina and stressed the importance of fostering a sense of brotherhood between the two countries, irrespective of the presidents in charge. Additionally, he reiterated his support for Argentina's sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.[90][91][92]

On 15 September 2022, Boric declined to receive the credentials of Israeli Ambassador to Chile, Gil Artzyeli, as a response to the deaths of children during the 2022 Gaza–Israel clashes in the Gaza Strip. Instead, the acceptance of Artzyeli's credentials was postponed until mid-October.[93] At the time of the refusal, Artzyeli was already present at Chile's presidential palace, which caused a diplomatic crisis between Chile and Israel.[94] The Jewish Community of Chile expressed backlash against Boric's decision.[94] In light of the situation, Chilean Foreign Minister Antonia Urrejola issued an apology to Israel and Israeli President Isaac Herzog, rescheduling Artzyeli's accreditation for the end of September.[94] While Boric declined to apologize for the incident, he assured the Jewish community that no individual, regardless of their ideas or worldviews, would be persecuted or intimidated in Chile unless they violated the law.[94]

### Reparations related to the 2019–2020 protests[edit]

The government of Gabriel Boric has established grace pensions of up to 515,672 Chilean pesos for individuals who endured human rights violations during the 2019–2020 protests.[95] Those who suffered such violations between 18 October 2019, and 30 June 2020, are eligible for these pensions.[95] However, the National Institute of Human Rights (INDH) has raised concerns about the uncertainty regarding the compatibility of these pensions with disability pensions.[95] Additionally, some members of Congress have expressed concerns that grace pensions have been granted to individuals whose trials have not yet concluded, thereby leaving the possibility that their injuries were caused by severe acts of violence unresolved.[96]

### Approval ratings[edit]

Boric took office with a 50% approval rating.[97] However, after his first 100 days, his approval rating plummeted to 32.8%, marking the most significant decline in popularity for a Chilean President during their initial 100 days since 1990.[98] By the end of 2022, his approval rating remained persistently low, hovering around 33%,[98] while nearly six out of ten people expressed disapproval of Boric's performance. Factors such as increasing crime, economic challenges, and instability within his Cabinet contributed to the decline in public support. Consequently, in early 2023, Boric's approval rating dropped even further to 25%.[99][100] By May 2023, Boric's approval rating among the public was 28% and his disapproval rating was at 66%.[101] Following a State of the Nation address in early June 2023, Boric's approval rating rose from 31% to 41%, improving across all population segments,[102] but fell back to 28% in late June due to a scandal[103] involving the Democracia Viva Foundation, according to weekly polls by Cadem.[104][105][106] In August 2023, Boric's approval rating hovered around 30% with still a majority of disapproval.[107][108]

## Political positions[edit]

President Sebastián Piñera receives President-elect Boric in La Moneda Palace after his election, December 2021

Gabriel Boric is a left-wing politician[109][110][111][112][113] who has been associated with various positions, including socialism,[114] social democracy,[115][116] and libertarian socialism.[117] In this regard, Boric has said, "I come from the Chilean libertarian socialist tradition, that is my ideological space of reference. I am a democrat, and I believe that democracy has to change and adapt and not petrify."[118] He has expressed some "ideological proximity" with Álvaro García Linera, the former vice president of Bolivia.[119]

Boric has been described by The Economist as "woke" and as part of the millennial left, "with a program focused on social justice, human rights, the environment and feminism".[120] Both Cristián Warnken and Carlos Peña characterize Boric as a "postmodern leader."[121] Peña credits Boric and the Broad Front for successfully uniting diverse demands that have emerged as Chilean society has modernized.[121]

Boric has been critical of the social and economic model established in Chile during the dictatorship, arguing that it has continued even after the transition to democracy. During the 2021 election, he pledged to dismantle the country's neoliberal economic model, stating that, "if Chile was the cradle of neoliberalism, it will also be its grave."[122][123] In recent years Boric has said "there were successes and things that didn't go well."[124]

After the failure of the 2022 constitutional proposal, Boric adopted a more moderate position, which drew criticism from his initial supporters who felt he was trying to appease right-wing groups disconnected from the average Chilean.[125] Throughout his presidential campaign, Boric supported the recognition of LGBT rights in Chile,[126] advocating for legal recognition of non-binary identities and the expansion of gender identity laws.[127]

In 2016, Boric defended a program to put 400 convicts in Valparaíso on probation due to overcrowding in Chilean prisons. He criticized what he saw as penal populism and opposed other deputies who were against probation measures.[128] During a debate in the 2021 Apruebo Dignidad primaries, Boric once again criticized the shortcomings of penal populism in providing effective solutions.[129]

Boric has been critical of pine and eucalyptus plantations, which he believes have contributed to drought among indigenous Mapuche communities in "Wallmapu."[130] He pledged in 2021 to impose restrictions on large forestry companies during his presidency.[130] In a May 2022 interview on Televisión Nacional de Chile, Boric reiterated his concerns about the forestry industry.[131]

In a 2023 interview Boric argued that a part of him wants to overthrow capitalism and expressed his firm belief that capitalism “is not the best way to solve our problems in society.” However, he added that “I don't think it can be overthrown without further ado if an alternative is not proposed that is viable and that is better for the people. One of the things that I have learned in office, not only in office, it is something obvious, but now it is as clear as crystal, is that you cannot re-found a country. All changes that last over time must be progressive and must be with strong majorities. And you have to build those strong majorities and those strong majorities are not easy to build.” [132]

### Economic policy[edit]

Boric has criticized the Crédito con Aval del Estado (CAE), a student loan program created during Ricardo Lagos's government.[133][134] Throughout his political career, Boric has consistently emphasized that education should be a right and not a profit-driven endeavor. He has pledged to forgive student loans and put an end to the program if elected as president.[135] Additionally, Boric has advocated for reducing private involvement in critical sectors.[citation needed]

Concerning the healthcare system, Boric has called for the establishment of a universal publicly funded healthcare system, citing the British National Health Service (NHS) as an example.[136] He has also advocated for the abolition of the AFP pension system, proposing a public autonomous entity to administer pension funds instead.[137] Boric has further supported a law to implement a 40-hour working week and increase the minimum wage.[137] Additionally, he has proposed the inclusion of workers' representatives and gender equality in the composition of boards of large companies.[138]

Given that mining is Chile's largest industry, Boric has put forth proposals such as creating a state-owned company for lithium extraction, increasing the royalties paid by mining companies, and prioritizing environmental protection.[139] Addressing the impact of climate change and promoting a green economy are key pillars of Boric's presidency.[140][139]

When Boric assumed the presidency, Chile's inflation rate had reached its highest level in nearly 30 years.[141] In April 2022, Boric announced a $3.7 billion economic recovery plan, which included a minimum wage hike to alleviate the impact of rising prices.[142] Although year-over-year inflation briefly rose to a high of 14.1% in August 2022, representing the highest level in 28 years, it has since decreased dramatically under Boric's leadership, dropping to 5.1% as of September 2023.[143] [144]

### Foreign policy[edit]

Boric with Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau in June 2022 Boric with President of Argentina Alberto Fernández at the 9th Summit of the Americas in June 2022 Boric with President of the United States Joe Biden in 2022 Boric with Prime Minister of Japan Fumio Kishida in Bangkok in November 2022

Boric has emphasized that the democratic left should not uphold a double standard when it comes to human rights or employ the principle of self-determination to justify violations of human rights. He believes that, "just as the left must condemn the violation of human rights in Chile during the dictatorship and also today, the soft coups in Brazil, Honduras and Paraguay, the Israeli-occupied territories, or the interventionism of the United States, we must from the left with the same force condemn the permanent restriction of freedoms in Cuba, the repressive government of Ortega in Nicaragua, the dictatorship in China and the weakening of the basic conditions of democracy in Venezuela".[145]

After assuming the presidency, Boric asserted that Venezuela serves as a failed example, with the 6 million Venezuelans in diaspora being a significant demonstration of this failure.[146] During his presidential campaign in 2021, he labeled the Nicaraguan general election as fraudulent and called upon the Communist Party of Chile, one of his allies, to retract its initial statement supporting Daniel Ortega's government.[147]

Boric has been critical of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and his stance regarding the crimes committed during Brazil's military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985. He has also referred to Bolsonaro as "a danger to the environment and humanity."[148] In response, Bolsonaro has displayed a cold attitude towards Boric since his election in December 2021,[148] announcing in January 2022 that he would not attend Boric's inauguration as president.[149]

Regarding Bolivia, Boric has expressed his intention to re-establish diplomatic relations between Chile and Bolivia, which were severed in 1978.[150] He has also voiced support for Argentina's position on the Falkland Islands and extended sympathy towards the government of Alberto Fernández. Boric pledged to assist Argentina during its debt restructuring process and negotiations with the International Monetary Fund.[151]

Boric has mentioned that if Lula da Silva and Gustavo Petro win the presidential elections in their respective countries, an "interesting axis" could be formed.[118] He strongly condemned the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine as an "unacceptable war of aggression."[152] During his presidency, Chile has supported United Nations resolutions demanding the immediate withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine[153] and offered assistance to the Ukrainian government in clearing landmines left by Russian forces.[154] However, Boric has declined requests to supply Ukraine with weapons, despite the United States offering to replace any equipment donated by the Chilean Armed Forces to support the Ukrainian war effort.[154]

With regard to the Israeli occupied territories, Boric has expressed support for the State of Palestine on multiple occasions. In 2019, after receiving a gift from the Jewish Community of Chile, he called for Israel to return the occupied Palestinian territories in a tweet.[155] He described Israel as a "genocidal and murderous state" that violates international treaties, stressing the importance of defending international principles and human rights regardless of a country's power.[156] Boric has refuted accusations of antisemitism, asserting his rejection of all forms of discrimination. He considers the Israeli occupation of territories beyond the 1967 borders as a violation of international law.[157] In October 2021, Boric and other deputies introduced a bill to prohibit the import of products originating from Israeli settlements, which are considered illegal by the international community.[158] In October 2023, Boric stated that Israel's attacks in the Israel–Hamas war "primarily" affected unarmed civilians, and were a potential war crime.[159][160]

## Personal life[edit]

Boric wearing a Nine Inch Nails hat in 2015.

Gabriel Boric has been vocal about mental health issues and his personal struggles with obsessive–compulsive disorder, a condition he was diagnosed with as a child. In 2018, he took a leave of absence from Congress after being hospitalized due to his condition.[161][162] The improvement of mental health services, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, was one of the central themes of his presidential campaign.[163]

Raised in a devout Catholic family, with his mother actively involved in the Schoenstatt Apostolic Movement,[16] Boric now identifies as agnostic.[164] Between 2019 and 2023, he was in a relationship with anthropologist and sociologist Irina Karamanos. During Boric's presidential campaign, Karamanos expressed her belief that the role of the First Lady should be reevaluated to better suit modern times.[165][166] Karamanos assumed the role of First Lady and worked to dissolve the institutional prerogatives of the role, which happened in December 2022. In November 2023, Boric and Karamanos announced the end of their relationship.[167]

Boric's love for rock and metal music gained widespread attention during his presidential campaign. He frequently shared posts on social media about some of his favorite bands, such as Deftones, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, and Rammstein.[168] However, he has also mentioned enjoying musicians from other genres, such as Laura Pausini, Taylor Swift and Jeongyeon.[169][170] Additionally, Boric is a supporter of the football team Universidad Católica.[171]

Boric's appearance and style have faced scrutiny since his election as a deputy.[172] As one of the youngest members of the Chamber of Deputies, he often wore casual attire, including jeans and t-shirts, during sessions of Congress. At one point, he even sported a mohawk hairstyle for several months.[172][169] In 2014, controversy arose when Boric entered the Chamber without wearing a tie or formal jacket, prompting a public complaint from a right-wing deputy.[173][174] During his presidential campaign, Boric adopted a more formal look, though he continued to abstain from wearing ties. Notably, he is also the first Latin American head of state to have visible tattoos. The designs on his arms and back represent his home region and include a map of the Magallanes Region, a lenga tree, and a lighthouse.[175]
