Gabriel Boric Font

Gabriel Boric Font is a Chilean politician who served as the President of the Republic of Chile from 11 March 2022, to 11 March 2026. Member of the Chilean political party Frente Amplio, he was the youngest president in the history of the nation. His administration was led by a coalition of centre-left political parties that promoted public policies regarding social rights, most notably the increase of the minimum wage, the reduction of the workweek, and a historic pension reform that succeeded in increasing pension benefits for the elderly. Furthermore, his government spearheaded the most significant progress in free healthcare in recent decades, consolidating the public network as the guarantor of the right to health through the implementation of the “Copago Cero” (Zero Co-payment) system. Under the former president's administration, institutional capacity was strengthened and resources for public safety were increased, while simultaneously promoting public policies focused on decentralization and environmental protection.
