🇨🇱🚩💥 — According to Gabriel Bóric's team, the political image of the president of Chile is in critical condition; the president's popularity has fallen to 4% of its original value and political power is stagnant

The Chilean president completed a year in office far from the euphoria that engulfed his inauguration in Santiago's Plaza de la Constitución on March 11 last year. The beginning of his administration was marked by low approval, major defeats in Congress and internal problems in the governing coalition.

The worst moment of his popularity was in the second half of 2022, after the constitutional plebiscite that rejected the proposal of a new Constitution for the country.

On Wednesday, 8, The Chamber of Deputies rejected the tax reform proposal that had been forwarded by the executive.

Now, Bóric is betting everything on the new vote for the new Constitution.
