# Gabriel Boric ## Identity and office Gabriel Boric was president of Chile from 11 March 2022 to 11 March 2026. He does not sit as SERVEL. As of September 2026 he is a living former president. José Antonio Kast succeeded him. Kast is named as an unresolved person candidate. This run does not mint a page for him. He is not a generational saint. On 4 September 2022 Chile voted under compulsory turnout on the Convention text. SERVEL recorded Rechazo 61.87 percent, Apruebo 38.13 percent ([SERVEL](https://www.servel.cl/); BCN historical series). He had campaigned for Apruebo. That night he said Chilean democracy had come out more robust and accepted the result. Within two days he replaced five ministers, including Izkia Siches at Interior with Carolina Tohá. Those two names remain unresolved. On 17 December 2023 a second text, drafted under a Republican-veto Council, was rejected 55.76 percent to 44.24 percent ([El País, 18 December 2023](https://english.elpais.com/international/2023-12-18/chile-rejects-conservative-constitution-with-55-voting-against-it.html)). He had campaigned against that charter. The dual result is that the 1980 constitution remains. Store both dates. Do not convert the second No into a unique later left victory coefficient. The security pivot is dated. Interior printed 1,330 murders in 2022 (rate 6.7). On 6 April 2023, after the killing of cabo Daniel Palma, he promulgated Ley 21.560 (Naín-Retamal) with Ley 21.555, 21.556 and 21.557 ([Interior, 6 April 2023](https://www.interior.gob.cl/noticias/2023/04/06/presidente-boric-promulga-4-leyes-para-el-combate-a-la-delincuencia)). Diario Oficial published Ley 21.560 on 10 April. Privileged legitimate defence for public-force officers is the statutory edge. HRW World Report 2024 recorded rights-group concern and the February 2023 northern-border military patrol order, extended through the year. Interior reported 13,256 irregular-crossing detentions January–July 2023 against 23,012 a year earlier. 2023 homicides fell to 1,248 (6.3). Reuters later printed about 6.0 for 2024. Methodology diverges. This page does not invent Contribution.size. Mapuche-adjacent states of exception in La Araucanía were maintained, not invented here as a unique later body-count. Piñera died on 6 February 2024; 2019–21 exception orders stay on his dates. ## Documented benefits The offsets that a commissioned-positive portrait would lead with are real only where dated. Ley 21.735, published 26 March 2025, creates a mixed pension pillar and raises the PGU on a phased calendar ([Mintrab, 26 March 2025](https://www.mintrab.gob.cl/diario-oficial-publica-la-reforma-previsional-en-mayo-inicia-vigencia-el-seguro-de-lagunas-y-en-septiembre-aumenta-la-pgu-al-primer-grupo-de-beneficiarios/)). Congress passed a right-negotiated text. The 11 March 2026 handover is a completed constitutional rotation ([Reuters, 11 March 2026](https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/chiles-kast-take-office-biggest-right-wing-shift-decades-2026-03-11/)). A first millennial is identity. ## Contributions and limits of responsibility He campaigned for Apruebo in 2022. He promulgated Ley 21.560. He ordered northern-border military patrols. He does not sit as SERVEL and he did not draft every Convention article. Sharing a 2019 party agreement is not a reason to hang the 2020 entry plebiscite as his. Sharing a 2025 pension bargain with Chile Vamos is not a reason to drop Rechazo. ## Causal chain through facts 4 September 2022 strengthens boric-constitutional-security and [political-polarization](/drivers/political-polarization). 6 April 2023 strengthens the same security file as a rights-contested police statute. 17 December 2023 completes the dual rewrite failure. 26 March 2025 is a neighbouring pension statute. 11 March 2026 strengthens [capacity for peaceful transfer of power](/drivers/capacity-for-peaceful-transfer-of-power). None of those dates hang on [territorial-revisionism](/drivers/territorial-revisionism), ukraine-war, or Soviet-scope rows. ## What the score does not say This page does not promise an exact number. Direction on the rewrite-and-security cluster is negative: two rejected charters and a 2022 homicide peak that produced Naín-Retamal. A later Kast statute with a date would be a different fact. José Antonio Kast, Jeannette Jara, Carolina Tohá, and Izkia Siches remain names on this file, not invented biographies. ## Dated facts - 2026: Boric leaves office as José Antonio Kast is sworn after the 2025 runoff. https://factrail.ai/facts/cl-boric-handover-2026.
