Boric sends New Year’s greeting: “Good things are coming for Chile”

The President-elect, Gabriel Boric, returned this Friday from his trip to Punta Arenas and took advantage from the airport to send a New Year’s greeting to all Chileans.” To all Chileans, and to those who inhabit our territory, wish a very happy new year. It has been a very intense year, I believe that this is a moment of change of political cycle and that good things are coming for Chile, “said the elected authority. In that line, he stressed that “for these good things to happen depends on us acting in unity, in good faith, maintaining the differences in the planes of respect and politics and never of aggression and violence”””I have no doubt that the majority of Chileans are in that disposition, I have felt it these days, I have felt the affection, the hope, of those who voted for us, of those who did not vote for us, of those who did not go to vote and that at least makes me proud and I think it speaks very well of our country, “he emphasized. In turn, Boric commented that “I have had the opportunity to talk with many foreign presidents and Chile is a source of pride that we have to take care of. We have to make many transformations, some very deep, but we have to take care of what we have advanced and that guarantees that we will give our best.” The above, “to be able to have the best government and a government at your disposal, of the people, that is not a government that serves, but serves the people of Chile,” he said. The president-elect was asked if there will be talks with the current ruling parties, before which he reaffirmed that “we are available to dialogue with all those who are available to make Chile a better country and that, by the way, includes the parties of the future opposition or officialdom. We have had informal contacts,” he said. We are talking, generating the willingness of goodwill to be able to collaborate in what Chile cares about, which is that we move forward, which is that we manage to improve pensions, that we find a solution to the tremendous conflict that exists in the southern macrozone (…), “he said. In that sense, he pointed out that “they are all issues that, beyond the fact that we have different paths, summon us all, that one has to be willing to also listen to good ideas that do not come only from the same side, and I am available to that.”
