In front of a crowd that filled the Plaza de la Constitución and its surroundings, Boric thanked the citizens for giving him the honor of reaching the highest position in the nation. “The people of Chile are protagonists in this process. We would not be here without your mobilizations and I want you to know that we did not come here to fill positions, entertain each other and to generate unattainable distances; we came to give ourselves body and soul to the commitment of make life better in our country”, he claimed.
He then described the great demands: “older people whose pension is not enough to live on, because some decided to make pensions a business; those of those who get sick and their families cannot afford treatment; those of indebted students; the of the peasants without water due to drought and looting, of the women who take care of their children with ASD, whom I find in every part of Chile, their bedridden relatives and their defenseless babies”.
did not forget to “The families that continue to search for their disappeared detainees, whom we will not stop searching for; those of the dissidents and gender diversities that have been discriminated against and excluded for so long; those of the artists who cannot experience their work, because culture does not is valued enough in our country; those of the native peoples, stripped of their lands, but never of their history; those of the harassed middle class; those of the children of Sename; the faces of the most isolated areas of this country, like Magellan; and those of those who live in forgotten poverty”.
The crowd applauded the words of the former student leader and chanted with strength, joy and hope. “Boric, friend, the town is with you.”
The ruler defined the nature of the country as “this Chile, made up of diverse peoples and nations, installed on a cornice of the continent, between the imposing mountain ranges and its magical ocean, between the desert of life and the Antarctic ice (…) has experienced human rights violations that will never be repeated in our country”.
He emphasized that his dream “is that when we finish our mandate we can look at our children, sisters, parents, neighbors and grandparents and feel that there is a country that protects and welcomes us.”
He also promised that “In this first year of Government, we have set ourselves the task of enthusiastically accompanying the constituent process for which we have fought so hard, we are going to decisively support the work of the Convention, we need a Constitution that unites us, that we feel as our own”.
“A Constitution that -he pointed out- unlike the one that was imposed by blood, fire and fraud, is born in democracy, on a parity basis, with indigenous participation, a constitution that is for everyone and not a few, without caricatures, and I say to us who listen, so that the exit plebiscite is a meeting point”.
