Youth and leadership: the Chilean model<\/strong>
During his speech, the senator-elect highlighted the political process that Chile has experienced in recent years, emphasizing the leadership of President Gabriel Boric, who emerged from the student struggles and became one of the youngest presidents in the history of his country.<\/p>\n\n\nHe also highlighted the case of Camila Vallejo, current Minister Secretary General of Government, who was a student leader alongside Boric, a congresswoman, and president of the Federation of Students of the University of Chile. For Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez, her career is a concrete example of the real opportunities that have opened up for young people in Chilean politics.\n\nHe also emphasized the importance of promoting greater integration of youth into state institutions, including the police forces, as part of a vision of institutional renewal and democratic strengthening.\n\n\n
