Who is Gabriel Boric? The radical student leader who will be Chile’s next president

Boric comes from a cohort that is grimly determined to bury dictator Augusto Pinochet's bitter legacy once and for all

Four months ago, 35-year-old Gabriel Boric confounded the polls to claim victory in a presidential primary he had barely been old enough to compete in. But on 11 March next year, he will now be sworn in as Chile's youngest ever president - having amassed more votes than any presidential candidate in history.

Boric is the driving force behind Chile's abrupt changing of the guard. He belongs to a radical generation of student leaders who are grimly determined to bury dictator Augusto Pinochet's bitter legacy once and for all.
