Gabriel Boric Font assumed power at only 36 years old and with his entire future ahead of him. The former student leader governs with low approval levels, although higher than his immediate predecessors.

In the two years that remain, he has made it a priority to improve pensions, spark economic growth and quell crime. “Democracy has to deliver; and to the extent that we improve people's quality of life, we will be moving in that direction,” says Boric.
