“At every time, every task. Today we find ourselves in the fight led by President Boric, pushing for transformations despite the brakes, the difficulties, the limitations that the correlation and composition of the National Congress has, but we are not going to faint, we will continue in a true political pedagogy, talking with the people, so that they take note of who are the ones who prevent, for example, the opening of a real pension reform,” he added.

For her part, the deputy and president of the Communist Youth, Daniela Serranorecalled the departure of Allende’s former minister, José Cademártoriand other militants who “gave their entire lives in the struggle to be interpreters of different social transformations and a process of accumulation of forces that was only promoted by the people of Chile, the working class, the workers, residents, and students, to make this a different, better country.”

“We can not only contemplate part of that legacy as part of a past history, but also make it flesh and present, understanding that That whole story must also be a process of inspiration to change ours.“, he concluded.
